Do you have any tips for my flight to Iron Range?
No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. Take a peek at these handy tips that will get your Iron Range holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Travelling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
  • You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Iron Range?
The trick is to be prepared before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Iron Range in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

  • Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them ready to show.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Travelling with a new perfume or cologne? Not a problem. 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, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
  • There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
  • Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
