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

  • The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to be prepared. So, let’s start with the basics: passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, bring items that’ll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a magazine. You’ll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don’t forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, can’t come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The key to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left for other occasions. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
  • Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There’s plenty you can do to reduce your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Albany?
A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Albany a piece of cake. Below you’ll find some handy hints for a speedy journey past security:

  • First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don’t hold up the line.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • For just a few minutes, you’ll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
  • Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won’t be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
