Do you have any tips for my flight to Philadelphia?
If you're not prepared, travelling can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a trouble-free start to your time in Philadelphia. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane trip can be easy if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
  • Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Philadelphia?
Being organised before your flight can make your getaway to Philadelphia quick and painless. Here are some handy hints for a stress-free journey through security:

  • Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
  • All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
  • Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
