How to survive the flight to Clear Lake?
Wherever you’re coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you’re well organized. We’ve made a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Clear Lake escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let’s start with the basics: passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, bring items that’ll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It’s also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to take a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a good choice.
  • Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights 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 walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help minimize this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Clear Lake?
As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you’ll be boarding that plane to Clear Lake in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

  • Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you’re allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don’t worry, you’ll be back online before you know it.
  • Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They’ll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
