How to survive the flight to Sarasota?
If you’re not prepared, traveling can be a real challenge. But there’s no need to worry. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a pain-free start to your getaway in Sarasota.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First things first, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, you’ll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you intend to catch a few z’s, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won’t be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural-fiber clothing and don’t forget to pack a sweater just in case you get cold. Opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
  • Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help lower your risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Sarasota?
The secret is to be prepared before you reach the security gate. That way, you’ll be boarding that plane to Sarasota in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

  • Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport at hand. They’re the first items you’ll be asked for by airport security.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • For just a few moments, you’ll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
  • Want to bring along your favorite perfume? As long as it’s in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-lock bag, you’re allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • There’s a chance you’ll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
  • Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They’ll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
