How to survive the flight to Prairie City?
We’ve got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you’ll be cruising through airport security and having a ball in Prairie City before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a great travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let’s start with the basics: passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It’s also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, won’t be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to take a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin on long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
  • The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The great news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander through the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Prairie City?
The answer is simple — be organized. We’ve put together some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Prairie City, here you come:

  • Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don’t hold up the line.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • For just a few minutes, you’ll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
