How to survive the flight to Social Circle?
We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and seeing the best of Social Circle in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First of all, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left for other occasions. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
  • A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks or tights may also help.

The trick is to be well organized before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Social Circle in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

  • Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
  • There's a possibility that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
  • Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
