How to survive the flight to Elmira?
If you’re poorly prepared, air travel can be tough. But there’s no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a trouble-free start to your holiday in Elmira.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Flying can be easy if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you’ll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don’t forget to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The answer to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
  • A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good pair of compression socks or tights may also help.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Elmira?
The answer is simple — be prepared. We’ve put together some top tips for a speedy trip through security. Look out Elmira, here you come:

  • First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
  • Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren’t.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won’t be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
