How to survive the flight to Fort Smith?
If you’re not prepared, travelling can be tough. But don’t hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a pain-free start to your getaway in Fort Smith.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It’s simple — first, put in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you’ll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you’ll step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don’t have a Swiss Army knife hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The key to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature 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 for other occasions. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
  • Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help reduce this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Fort Smith?
Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Fort Smith easy and painless. Below you’ll find some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

  • First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don’t worry, you’ll be back online soon enough.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
