Do you have any tips for my flight to Schenectady?
We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through the airport and having a ball in Schenectady before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
  • Your priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Schenectady?
The trick is to be well organized before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Schenectady in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:
  • Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
