Do you have any tips for my flight to Traverse?
Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Traverse could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've compiled some handy tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
  • You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and opt for easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Traverse?
The trick is to be well organised before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Traverse in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:
  • Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
  • Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
