How to survive the flight to Forest City?
No matter where you’re coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you’ve prepared well. We’ve made a list of handy hints that will get your Forest City holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It’s also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don’t forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

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 avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, aren’t allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is often as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
  • Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Forest City?
It’s easy — be prepared. We’ve pulled together some helpful hints for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Forest City, here you come:

  • Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you’re allowed to proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • For just a few moments, you’ll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Travelling with a new hand cream? No problem. As long as it’s in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you’re allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you’re less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Airlines won’t allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
