How to survive the flight to Sanford?
If you’re not prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there’s no need to panic. Follow these handy hints for a stress-free start to your time in Sanford.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Flying can be a great experience if you pack the right stuff. First things first, you’ll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
  • Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, 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 reduce this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Sanford?
The secret is to be organized before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you’ll be boarding that plane to Sanford before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

  • Keep your boarding pass and passport within close reach. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked to present to airport security.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be separately scanned.
  • Traveling with a new cologne or perfume? 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’re permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren’t.
  • Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They’ll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
