How to survive the flight to Ruidoso Downs?
We’ve pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you’ll be cruising through the airport and having a blast in Ruidoso Downs in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you’ll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, aren’t allowed in the cabin either.

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 bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. 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.
  • Unfortunately, a risk of long-haul flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, 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 Ruidoso Downs?
It’s easy — be prepared. We’ve compiled some top tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Ruidoso Downs, here you come:

  • First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you’ll be back online before you know it.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • It’s also possible you’ll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
