Do you have any tips for my flight to Harrisburg?
Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Harrisburg could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a juicy novel. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to slip on and off.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Harrisburg?
A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your getaway to Harrisburg easy and painless. Read through our useful tips for a swift journey through security:

  • Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
  • Can't travel without your favourite cologne or 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-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
  • There's a chance you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
