How to survive the flight to Independence?
Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Independence could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • It's easy --- first, put in your passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:
  • The long, narrow aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and bring a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also recommended.
  • The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks or tights can also help.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Independence?
Being organized before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Independence easy and painless. Check out our top tips for a swift journey through security:
  • Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
  • Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
  • Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
  • It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
  • Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
