Do you have any tips for my flight to Idalou?
Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Idalou escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • A plane trip can be a pleasure if you carry the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
  • Your aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
  • Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Idalou?
The trick is to be well prepared before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Idalou in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:
  • Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
  • Travelling with a new cologne or perfume? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • 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 luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
