Do you have any tips for my flight to McAllen?
If you're not prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks for a pleasant start to your getaway in McAllen. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a good book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
  • It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to McAllen?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to McAllen in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

  • First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
  • Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
  • Can't travel without your favourite perfume? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you on board.
  • There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
  • Sharp items such as knives and scissors can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
