How to survive the flight to Alden?
We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and seeing the best of Alden in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and take a pullover just in case you get cold. Always opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
  • Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander through the cabin as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Alden?
Being organized before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Alden a breeze. We've compiled some useful tips for a swift journey through security:

  • Be sure to have your passport and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned.
  • Want to bring along your favorite hand cream? Not a problem. 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.
  • It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
