How to survive the flight to Rainbow City?
Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Rainbow City could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It's easy — first, put in your passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural-fiber clothing and take a jacket in case it gets cool in the cabin. Opt for roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your main luggage.
  • The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks can also help.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Rainbow City?
As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Rainbow City before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

  • First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
  • It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
