Do you have any tips for my flight to Erie?
We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be speeding through the airport and exploring Erie in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • First of all, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
  • The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and choose shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to remove.
  • The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Erie?
A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Erie easy and painless. Here are some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:
  • Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
  • Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
  • All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.

Tips on buying tickets to Erie

One great way to save money on your flights to Erie is to fly during low season. In addition, you should book your Erie airfare as early as possible; the combination of low season and early bookings may save you more than 50 percent on your tickets. Also, be flexible about your departure and arrival dates and times. You can save money by taking an early morning flight or a redeye flight; since airlines find it difficult to sell all the tickets on these types of flights, they sometimes release discounted tickets in order to fill the plane. Consider playing around with your arrival or departure dates; you may find that leaving a day or two early will cost far less money. Try to aim for a weekday flight; weekend flights tend to be more in demand. Take a flight with a layover; they tend to be much cheaper than non-stops. Before booking your tickets, make sure to find out whether or not there are additional luggage and check-in fees.
