Question 9

How to survive the flight to Galveston?

Accepted Answer

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a stress-free start to your holiday in Galveston.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

First and foremost, pack in your passport, official ID, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favourite shows are good options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

The goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, natural-fibre clothing and bring a sweater in case it gets cool. Always go with flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help lower your risk.

Question 10

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

Accepted Answer

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Galveston in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
