Question 10

How to survive the flight to Philadelphia?

Accepted Answer

If you're not prepared, travelling can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a pain-free start to your time in Philadelphia.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

Flying can be a stress-free experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pack a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good idea.
The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk up and down the aisles as often as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

Question 11

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

Accepted Answer

It's easy — be prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Philadelphia, here you come:

Have your passport and boarding pass at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
