How to survive the flight to Alta?
Wherever you’re coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you’ve planned ahead. We’ve compiled a list of handy travel tips that will get your Alta holiday started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane ride can be a pleasure if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you’ll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, don’t forget to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, aren’t allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your highest priority when picking what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes work well.
  • Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There’s lots you can do to lower your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Alta?
The answer is simple — be prepared. We’ve pulled together some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Alta, here you come:

  • First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don’t hold up the queue.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don’t worry though, you’ll be back online before you know it.
  • Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. 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 quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won’t be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
