How to survive the flight to Elma?
We’ve rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you’ll be breezing through the airport and having a ball in Elma in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First and foremost, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you’ll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are always good options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Pick flat, well-fitting shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
  • A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It’s the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks can also help.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Elma?
A little pre-planning before your flight can make your trip to Elma quick and painless. Below are some handy hints for a swift journey through security:

  • Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport someplace easily accessible. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked to present to security.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • For just a few moments, you’ll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren’t.
  • Airlines won’t allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
