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

  • A plane ride can be easy if you’ve got all the right stuff. First of all you’ll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don’t forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, can’t come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort really should be your main priority when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet can be a side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes work well.
  • Unfortunately, a risk of flying long distances is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help reduce this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Charleston?
Being prepared before your flight will make your getaway to Charleston quick and painless. We’ve rounded up some handy tips for a stress-free journey past security:

  • Be sure to keep your travel documents and ID at hand. They’re the first items you’ll be asked to show at security.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner’s alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They’ll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don’t worry though, you’ll be back online before you know it.
  • Traveling with a new cologne? No problem. As long as it’s in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it’s fine to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
  • There’s a chance you’ll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
