How to survive the flight to Amherst?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your flight to Amherst could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. Below are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First, pack your passport, travel documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you’ll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you’ll arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and don’t forget to pack a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin. Opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
  • The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander through the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Amherst?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you get to the security gate. That way, you’ll be hopping onto that plane to Amherst in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

  • Keep your boarding pass and ID within easy reach. They’re the first things you’ll be asked to show at airport security.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
  • Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you’re less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They’ll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
