How to survive the flight to West Haven?
If you’re not prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But there’s no need to panic. Follow these handy tips for a worry-free start to your time in West Haven.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right gear. First of all you’ll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, find room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don’t forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should always be your main priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are quite common. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy work well.
  • The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk up and down the aisles whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to West Haven?
Being organized before you get to the airport can make your trip to West Haven a breeze. We’ve compiled some handy hints for a stress-free journey through security:

  • Keep your boarding pass and ID someplace easily accessible. They’re the first items you’ll be asked for by airport security.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, 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 before your turn.
  • Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don’t worry, you’ll be back online before you know it.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
  • Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They’ll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
