Do you have any tips for my flight to Rapid City?
Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Rapid City escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • Travelling on a plane can be easy if you've got all the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring 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 avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
  • You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and pick flat, slightly roomy shoes like sneakers.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Rapid City?
The answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some useful tips for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Rapid City, here you come:
  • Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • All electronic gadgets, including your laptop 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-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
