Do you have any tips for my flight to East Lansing?
We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a ball in East Lansing before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having an awesome flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, cash and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to East Lansing?
The trick is to be well prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to East Lansing in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

  • Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
