Do you have any tips for my flight to Waukesha?
Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Waukesha escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Flying can be a great experience if you carry the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your bag for your phone and charger, any vital medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to pull on and off.
  • Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Waukesha?
A little pre-planning before your flight will make your getaway to Waukesha a breeze. Below are some top tips for a swift journey past security:

  • Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be separately scanned.
  • Can't travel without your favorite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
  • Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
