How to survive the flight to Rapids City?
We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and having a blast in Rapids City in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It's simple --- first, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you plan to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The answer to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice in clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
  • Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk up and down the aisles wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Rapids City?
The answer is simple --- be prepared. We've pulled together some helpful hints for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Rapids City, here you come:

  • Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. 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 coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
  • Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray 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-close bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
