How to survive the flight to Lexington?
Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Lexington could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First things first, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and don't forget to pack a jacket in case it gets cool. Go for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
  • Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help lower your risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Lexington?
The simple answer is --- be prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Lexington, here you come:

  • First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
  • Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
  • Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Sharp items such as knives and scissors can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
