Do you have any tips for my flight to Bear Lake?
Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will help get your Bear Lake escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • Travelling on a plane can be a pleasure if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
  • The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to slip on and off.
  • Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Bear Lake?
Being prepared before your flight will make your trip to Bear Lake a breeze. Read through our useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:
  • Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
  • Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
