How to survive the flight to Buckner?
If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a pleasant start to your vacation in Buckner.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural-fiber clothing and take a sweater in case it gets cool. Go for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your luggage.
  • Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help lower your risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Buckner?
As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Buckner in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

  • Keep your boarding pass and passport handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
  • Want to bring along your favorite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
