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

  • Flying can be easy if you carry the right things. Firstly, you’ll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don’t forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The long, narrow aisles of your airplane are no fashion runway. Wear comfortable clothes and take a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also recommended.
  • Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help minimize this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Schenectady?
Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Schenectady quick and painless. Read through our useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

  • Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass easily accessible. They’re the first items you’ll be asked to show at airport security.
  • Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • For just a few moments, you’ll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a good 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.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won’t be allowed on board.
