Do you have any tips for my flight to Washington Heights?
No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will get your Washington Heights escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and opt for easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
  • It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Washington Heights?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Washington Heights before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

  • First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • There's a good chance you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
