How to survive the flight to Washington?
No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. Take a peek at these handy tips that will get your Washington vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Don layers of breathable clothing and take a pullover in case you get cold. Opt for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your main luggage.
  • You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to reduce your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Washington?
A little pre-planning before your flight can make your getaway to Washington a pleasure. We've rounded up 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. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
