Do you have any tips for my flight to Albany?
Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organised. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will help get your Albany escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a good book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by donning layers, and opt for easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Albany?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Albany in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

  • Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
  • Want to bring along your favourite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
