Question 10

How to survive the flight to Ketchikan?

Accepted Answer

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will help get your Ketchikan holiday started on the right foot.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and don't forget to pack a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin. Always go with flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help lower your risk.

Question 11

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Ketchikan?

Accepted Answer

The trick is to be prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Ketchikan in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

Have your passport and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
