Do you have any tips for my flight to Douglas?
If you're not prepared, traveling can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a comfortable start to your vacation in Douglas. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and opt for slightly roomy, flat footwear like sneakers.
  • You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Douglas?
As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Douglas in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

  • First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
  • Can't travel without your favorite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
  • It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
