Do you have any tips for my flight to Charleston?
If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a trouble-free start to your time in Charleston. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First of all, put in your passport, important documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and pick slightly roomy, flat shoes like slip-ons.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Charleston?
It's all about being organised. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Charleston, here you come:

  • Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. 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.
  • For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
