Do you have any tips for my flight to Forest City?
We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and discovering Forest City in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don't have a pocket knife hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

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

  • Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
  • There's a good chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
  • Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
