Do you have any tips for my flight to Gulf Shores?
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 zooming through airport security and discovering Gulf Shores in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
  • You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and wear flat, enclosed shoes like sneakers.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Gulf Shores?
The secret is to be well organised before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Gulf Shores in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:
  • First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned.
  • Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
