How to survive the flight to Lincoln?
We’ve pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our top tips and you’ll be cruising through the airport and discovering Lincoln in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let’s start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. You’ll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, don’t forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don’t have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your number one priority when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea.
  • A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It’s the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks also helps reduce your risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Lincoln?
It’s easy — be prepared. We’ve rounded up some tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Look out Lincoln, here you come:

  • Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • For just a few minutes, you’ll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
  • Airlines won’t allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
