Do you have any tips for my flight to Wilkes-Barre?
Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. We've made a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Wilkes-Barre vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane trip can be a pleasure if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, 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:

  • Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and pick flat, slightly roomy shoes like slip-ons.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Wilkes-Barre?
It's easy — be prepared. We've compiled some top tips for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Wilkes-Barre, here you come:

  • Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
  • Want to bring along your favorite hand and nail cream? Not a 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 bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
  • Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
