How to survive the flight to Air Base City?
We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and exploring Air Base City in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck 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 restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The best way to ensure a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
  • A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks also helps reduce the risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Air Base City?
The trick is to be well organized before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Air Base City before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

  • Keep your ID and boarding pass at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
  • Sharp or pointed items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
