Do you have any tips for my flight to West Frankfort?
If you're not prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a pleasant start to your getaway in West Frankfort. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a good book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm 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 liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to West Frankfort?
As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to West Frankfort in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

  • Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
