Do you have any tips for my flight to White Sands?
If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a stress-free start to your holiday in White Sands. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.
- While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
- You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by donning layers, and opt for flat, closed-toe footwear like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to White Sands?
Being organised before you get to the airport will make your getaway to White Sands easy and painless. We've compiled some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:
- First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
- The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
- Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
- Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
- The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
- Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
