Do you have any tips for my flight to Ankeny?
Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Ankeny could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. Here are some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a good read. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.
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 avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
  • The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and go for shoes that are flat and easy to slip on and off.
  • Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Ankeny?
A little pre-planning before your flight will make your getaway to Ankeny quick and painless. Below you'll find some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:
  • Have your ID and travel documents within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
  • Want to bring along your favourite cologne or perfume? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
  • Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
