Question 10

How to survive the flight to Bethesda?

Accepted Answer

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of top travel tips that will help get your Bethesda escape started on the right note.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, official ID, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

Comfort really should be the goal when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a smart option.
You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are many ways to lessen your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and get your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

Question 11

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Bethesda?

Accepted Answer

Being organised before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Bethesda a piece of cake. Read through our useful tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
There's a possibility that you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
