Do you have any tips for my flight to Fort Lauderdale?

Accepted Answer

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a stress-free start to your holiday in Fort Lauderdale. What to pack in your hand luggage:

Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

Question 11

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Fort Lauderdale?

Accepted Answer

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your getaway to Fort Lauderdale a breeze. Below are some top tips for a stress-free journey past security:

Have your passport and boarding pass close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and earphones will be required 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 also need to be sent through the scanner.
Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring 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.
It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
