Do you have any tips for my flight to Birch Bay?
We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and having a ball in Birch Bay in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and opt for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to remove.
  • It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Birch Bay?
As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Birch Bay in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

  • First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Can't travel without your favorite cologne? 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're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
