How to survive the flight to Shigar?
Wherever you’re coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you’ve planned ahead. We’ve made a list of handy tips that will get your Shigar escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane ride can be a pleasure if you carry the right stuff. First of all you’ll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and don’t forget to pack a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin. Always opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your checked luggage.
  • A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It’s the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce the risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Shigar?
The secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you’ll be stepping onto that plane to Shigar in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

  • Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don’t hold up the queue.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They’ll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
