Do you have any tips for my flight to Gainesville?
If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks for a pleasant start to your vacation in Gainesville. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Flying can be a pleasure if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
  • The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Gainesville?
Being organized before your flight can make your trip to Gainesville easy and painless. We've rounded up some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

  • First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
  • Can't travel without your favorite hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
