How to survive the flight to Brainerd?
Wherever you’re jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you’re prepared. Follow these essential travel tips that will help get your Brainerd escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let’s start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It’s also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don’t forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don’t have a pocket knife lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural fibers and pack a cardigan just in case you get cold. Pick a pair of roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your main luggage.
  • Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help reduce this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Brainerd?
It’s all about being organized. We’ve put together some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Brainerd, here you come:

  • Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
  • Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
  • Traveling with a new cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as it’s in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-lock bag, it’s fine to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
  • There’s a possibility that you’ll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won’t be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
