So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes. > > > Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage: > > > - While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either. > > > What to wear on a flight: > > > - Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, natural-fiber clothing and pack a pullover just in case you get cold. Opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your checked luggage. > - Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help minimize this risk. ### How to get through airport security fast when flying to Carlisle? > - First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them. > - The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt. > - Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time. > - Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag. > - Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening. > - Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage. \*Flight schedules are subject to change. ## Book with confidence # Tips to find the cheapest flights to Carlisle **The cheapest day to fly** Get started finding a cheap flight to Carlisle on Expedia by either choosing a deal on this page or entering into the search bar your travel dates, origin airport, and whether you want roundtrip or one-way airfare.
