How to survive the flight to Ruidoso?
No matter where you’re coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you’ve prepared well. Check out these essential travel tips that will help get your Ruidoso holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First of all, pack in your passport, travel docs, wallet and vital medications. Next, you’ll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are good options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don’t have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and bring a pullover in case it gets cool. Pick a pair of roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your luggage.
  • Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are plenty of ways to lower your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, stay hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Ruidoso?
The trick is to be well organised before you arrive at airport security. That way, you’ll be hopping onto that plane to Ruidoso in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

  • First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them handy so you don’t have to dig around for them.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
  • Want to bring along your favourite hand cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you on board.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren’t.
  • Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
