Do you have any tips for my flight to Charlotte?
If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a hassle-free start to your vacation in Charlotte. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First of all, put in your passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
  • The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Charlotte?
The simple answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Charlotte, here you come:

  • First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
  • Traveling with a new 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 zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on.
  • There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
