Do you have any tips for my flight to Cedar Rapids?
Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Cedar Rapids could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First things first, put in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Cedar Rapids?
The answer is simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Cedar Rapids, here you come:

  • Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
  • For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
  • Can't travel without your favorite cologne? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you on board.
  • Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
