How to survive the flight to Carolina Beach?
No matter where you’re coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you’ve prepared well. We’ve put together a list of essential travel tips that will get your Carolina Beach vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane ride can be a pleasure if you carry the right things. Firstly, you’ll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don’t forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won’t be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and take a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during longer flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
  • Unfortunately, a risk of long flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help minimize this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Carolina Beach?
It’s simple — be prepared. We’ve pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Carolina Beach, here you come:

  • Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID handy. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked to show at security.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner’s alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They’ll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned.
  • Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
  • Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can’t be taken on board. They’ll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
