Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Horseheads could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some handy hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane ride can be a pleasure if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick slip-on footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case you get cold 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-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Horseheads?
The trick is to be organized before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Horseheads in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

  • Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
  • Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Can't travel without your favorite cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
  • There's a chance you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
  • Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
