Do you have any tips for my flight to South Bend?
Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will get your South Bend escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Air travel can be a great experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Next, leave space in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
  • The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to South Bend?
The trick is to be well organised before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to South Bend in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

  • Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
  • Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned separately.
  • Can't travel without your favourite cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
