How to survive the flight to Opelousas?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your journey to Opelousas could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. Below are some handy tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you’ll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Next, make room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and bring a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea too.
  • Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Opelousas?
As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you’ll be stepping onto that plane to Opelousas in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

  • Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you’re allowed to proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner’s alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They’ll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you’ll be back online before you know it.
  • Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • There’s a possibility that you’ll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
  • Sharp items like knives can’t be taken on board. They’ll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
