Do you have any tips for my flight to Baton Rouge?
Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will help get your Baton Rouge escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, important documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some great options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your top priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
  • Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Baton Rouge?
Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Baton Rouge quick and painless. We've rounded up some useful tips for a swift journey through security:

  • First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
  • Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
  • Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
