Do you have any tips for my flight to Rapid City?
If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a worry-free start to your getaway in Rapid City. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Flying can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any daily medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and pick shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Rapid City?
The answer is simple — be prepared. We've compiled some top tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Rapid City, here you come:

  • First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned.
  • Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
