How to survive the flight to Sterling?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your journey to Sterling could be completely painless or it could go on forever. Below are some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel docs, wallet and vital medications. Next, you’ll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are always good options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you’ll step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of your airplane are no fashion runway. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and don’t forget to bring a sweater as it tends to get cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also recommended.
  • Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help reduce this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Sterling?
It’s simple — be prepared. We’ve pulled together some top tips for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Sterling, here you come:

  • First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them at hand so you don’t hold up the line.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren’t.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won’t be allowed in the cabin.
