How to survive the flight to Banner Elk?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your flight to Banner Elk could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We’ve rounded up some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a great travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let’s start with the basics: passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that’ll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. You’ll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don’t forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don’t have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to bring a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin during longer flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
  • Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To avoid 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 Banner Elk?
As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you get to security. That way, you’ll be stepping onto that plane to Banner Elk in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

  • Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren’t.
  • Airlines won’t allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
