How to survive the flight to Foothills?
Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Foothills could be a breeze or it could go on forever. Below are some useful hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set 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 things like knives, scissors, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Don layers of breathable clothing and remember to bring a cardigan just in case you get chilly. Pick roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
  • Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help minimize this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Foothills?
As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Foothills in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

  • Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
  • Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
  • It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
