Accepted Answer

We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and seeing the best of Mount Desert in no time flat.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, make room in your bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

Comfort should be your priority when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a smart option.
The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

Question 11

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Mount Desert?

Accepted Answer

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Mount Desert in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
Can't travel without your favourite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are often 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 in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
