How to survive the flight to Elmhurst?
No matter where you’re coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you’ve prepared well enough. We’ve put together a list of handy tips that will get your Elmhurst escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It’s easy — first, pack in your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you’ll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a short nap, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you’ll step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, won’t be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and remember to pack a sweater just in case you get chilly. Go for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
  • Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The good news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and wander the aisles as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Elmhurst?
Being organized before your flight will help make your getaway to Elmhurst easy and painless. We’ve compiled some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

  • Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don’t hold up the line.
  • Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • For just a few moments, you’ll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
  • Traveling with a new hand cream? No 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-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • It’s also possible you’ll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
  • Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
