Do you have any tips for my flight to Rochester?
Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. Follow these handy travel tips that will get your Rochester holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First, pack in your passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
  • 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 improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Rochester?
A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Rochester quick and painless. Below are some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

  • First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be separately scanned.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
