How to survive the flight to Wilkes-Barre?
If you’re not prepared, air travel can be testing. But don’t hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a pleasant start to your getaway in Wilkes-Barre.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It’s also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, can’t come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should always be your prime concern when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet are quite common. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy work well.
  • Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help lower your risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Wilkes-Barre?
It’s easy — be prepared. We’ve put together some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Wilkes-Barre, here you come:

  • Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don’t hold up the line.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you’ll be back online before you know it.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
  • It’s also likely that you’ll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever 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 suitcase. They won’t be allowed on board.
