Do you have any tips for my flight to Salem?
Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of top travel tips that will help get your Salem holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a stress-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a juicy novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and pick shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to slip on and off.
  • Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Salem?
Being prepared before your flight can make your getaway to Salem quick and painless. We've rounded up some handy hints for a swift journey through security:

  • Be sure to have your travel documents and ID within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
  • Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
