How to survive the flight to Ames?
If you’re poorly prepared, travelling can be challenging. But don’t hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a pain-free start to your holiday in Ames.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a great travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let’s start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a good read. It’s also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, won’t be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort really should be your prime concern when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a good idea.
  • Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander through the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Ames?
The simple answer is — be prepared. We’ve compiled some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Ames, here you come:

  • Have your travel documents and passport at hand. They’re the first things you’ll be asked to show at airport security.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They’ll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don’t worry though, you’ll be back online in no time.
  • Travelling with your favourite hand cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
  • It’s also likely that you’ll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
  • Pocket knives and other sharp items can’t be taken on board. They’ll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
