Do you have any tips for my flight to Altoona?
Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. Follow these handy tips that will get your Altoona vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Travelling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Next, make room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to take a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Altoona?
The trick is to be prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Altoona before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

  • First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Travelling with a new cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
