We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and enjoying Idlewild in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage: - The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes. Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage: - Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). What to wear on a flight: - The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and pick shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to slip on and off. - Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often. ### How to get through airport security fast when flying to Idlewild? The secret is to be well prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Idlewild in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a great start: - Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection. - Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn. - Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it. - Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag. - Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening. - Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage. ## Travel information | Destination city name | Chicago | | ----------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Destination airport | Chicago O'Hare International Airport | | Destination airport IATA code | ORD | | Airlines serving | American Airlines, Delta, Frontier Airlines, United, Alaska Airlines, JetBlue Airways, Air Canada, Lufthansa, Turkish Airlines, British Airways, Swiss International Air Lines, KLM, Air France, LOT-Polish Airlines, SAS, Iberia, Aeromexico, Austrian Airlines, Volaris, Brussels Airlines, Emirates, Finnair, Aer Lingus, PD, Etihad Airways, Qatar Airways, Avianca, Virgin Atlantic, Icelandair, TAP Portugal, Contour Airlines, Japan Airlines, WestJet, Cathay Pacific, Sun Country Airlines, All Nippon Airways | | Popular airline | American Airlines | | Return price | £213 | ## Trending flights to Idlewild Prices were available within the past 7 days and start at £115 for one-way flights and £213 for return, for the period specified.
