Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Story City could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Air travel can be easy if you've got all the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and opt for easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
  • The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Story City?
A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Story City a pleasure. Read through our handy tips for a speedy journey through security:

  • Be sure to keep your ID and travel documents handy. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Travelling with a new perfume? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
  • Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
