How to survive the flight to Albany?
If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a hassle-free start to your getaway in Albany.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane ride can be a great experience if you carry the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and take a pullover just in case you get cold. Go for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
  • It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to reduce your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, drink plenty of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Albany?
Being organized before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Albany easy and painless. Below are some handy hints for a swift journey through security:

  • First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
  • Want to bring along your favorite hand and nail 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-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
