  • A plane ride can be a great experience if you take the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
  • Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and wear easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
  • The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Salem?
The answer is simple — be organised. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Salem, here you come:
  • Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID close by. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
  • Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
  • Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
  • Sharp items such as knives and scissors can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
