How to survive the flight to Forbes?
Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Forbes could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. Here are some useful tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your phone and charger, medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The long, narrow aisles of your airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and don't forget to bring a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
  • Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Forbes?
Being organised before your flight can make your getaway to Forbes a breeze. Check out our handy tips for a speedy journey past security:

  • Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
  • Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item 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-close bag.
  • It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
  • Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
