How to survive the flight to Watkins Glen?
We’ve pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you’ll be speeding through airport security and having a ball in Watkins Glen before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First things first, pack your passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you’ll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are some great options. If you hope to catch a few z’s, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you’ll step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, can’t come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The answer to a comfortable flight often lies in the clothes you wear. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
  • Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Watkins Glen?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you’ll be stepping onto that plane to Watkins Glen in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

  • Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They’re the first things you’ll be asked to present to security.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you’ll be back online soon enough.
  • Travelling with your favourite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as it’s in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you’re less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Airlines won’t allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
