Do you have any tips for my flight to Rockford?
No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will help get your Rockford vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pick shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to take on and off.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Rockford?
It's easy — be prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Rockford, here you come:

  • Have your passport and boarding pass within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
  • Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
