Do you have any tips for my flight to Ruidoso Downs?
If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a hassle-free start to your time in Ruidoso Downs. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a good read. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and opt for flat, slightly roomy footwear like sneakers.
  • Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Ruidoso Downs?
A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Ruidoso Downs a piece of cake. We've rounded up some useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

  • Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
  • Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
  • Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
  • Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
