How to survive the flight to Smithfield?
Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Smithfield could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

  • The narrow aisles of your aircraft are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pack a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
  • Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help minimize this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Smithfield?
It's easy --- be prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Smithfield, here you come:

  • Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned.
  • Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
  • There's a possibility that you'll be asked to take your shoes off 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 objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
