Do you have any tips for my flight to Ottumwa?
If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips for a comfortable start to your time in Ottumwa. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a few magazines. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
  • Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
  • Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Ottumwa?
The trick is to be well organized before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Ottumwa in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:
  • Have your ID and travel documents easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. 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.
  • All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
  • Can't travel without your favourite perfume? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on.
  • Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
