How to survive the flight to West Point?
Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organized. Follow these handy tips that will get your West Point escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should always be your prime concern when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea.
  • It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to lower your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and move your legs and feet. Wander around the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

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

  • Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
