How to survive the flight to Mount Ayr?
Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Mount Ayr could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've put together some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to pack a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin. Always go with flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
  • A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks can also help.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Mount Ayr?
A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Mount Ayr quick and painless. Below you'll find some useful tips for a swift journey through security:

  • Have your ID and boarding pass within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
  • Can't travel without your favorite cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on.
  • It's also likely that you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
