How to survive the flight to Boston?
If you’re not prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there’s no need to panic. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a hassle-free start to your time in Boston.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Flying can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right things. First of all you’ll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your number one priority when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet can be a side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a good idea.
  • Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance flying is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help minimize this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Boston?
The secret is to be well organized before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you’ll be stepping onto that plane to Boston in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

  • Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • For just a few moments, you’ll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
  • Don’t forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
  • Airlines won’t allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
