How to survive the flight to Kanawha?
If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a stress-free start to your vacation in Kanawha.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First things first, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some great options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and pack a jacket just in case you get cold. Always opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
  • A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks or tights can also help.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Kanawha?
Being organized before your flight will make your trip to Kanawha quick and painless. We've rounded up some useful tips for a speedy journey past security:

  • First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
  • Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, 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 electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
  • Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
