How to survive the flight to Hillsdale?
If you're not prepared, traveling can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips for a stress-free start to your time in Hillsdale.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Flying can be a great experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The narrow aisles of your plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to bring a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
  • Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are numerous ways to minimize your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Hillsdale?
Being organized before your flight will make your trip to Hillsdale a pleasure. Here are some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

  • Have your passport and boarding pass within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
  • Can't travel without your favorite hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • There's a good chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
