Do you have any tips for my flight to Ruidoso?
If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be testing. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a hassle-free start to your time in Ruidoso. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are always good options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
  • The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pick shoes that are flat and easy to pull on and off.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Ruidoso?
The trick is to be well organised before you get to security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Ruidoso in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:
  • Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, 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 phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned separately.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
