Do you have any tips for my flight to Prairie?
Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. Follow these handy tips that will get your Prairie escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Air travel can be easy if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
  • Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Prairie?
As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Prairie in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

  • Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
  • Traveling with a new hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
  • There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
  • Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
