How to survive the flight to Metairie?

Accepted Answer

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be speeding through airport security and enjoying Metairie in no time flat.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

A plane ride can be a great experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

Comfort should be your number one priority when picking what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a sensible way to go.
The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The good news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander through the cabin as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

Question 11

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

Accepted Answer

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Metairie, here you come:

First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
Travelling with your favourite cologne or perfume? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes 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 suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
