How to survive the flight to Wadena?
Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Wadena could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've put together some useful hints that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First of all, put in your passport, important documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll hop 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 of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your priority when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet are a common side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes work well.
  • It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are plenty of ways to reduce your risk. Wear compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Wadena?
The trick is to be well prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Wadena before you know it. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

  • Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
