How to survive the flight to Big Rapids?
If you’re poorly prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there’s no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a worry-free start to your time in Big Rapids.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Travelling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right gear. First things first, you’ll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and pack a sweater just in case you get cold. Pick flat, slightly roomy shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your luggage.
  • Unfortunately, a risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help reduce this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Big Rapids?
It’s all about being organised. We’ve compiled some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Big Rapids, here you come:

  • Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Keep them close by.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
  • All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
  • Don’t forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • It’s also possible you’ll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won’t be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
