Do you have any tips for my flight to Ankeny?

  • Wherever you’re heading, flying can be a wonderful experience if you come well prepared. Firstly, pack your travel documents, passport and medications. Next, throw in some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan on getting some sleep, a quality neck pillow and earplugs are also worth packing.
  • There’s also a list of prohibited items for your hand luggage which can differ between carriers and flight routes. As a general rule, avoid packing anything explosive, sharp or flammable. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, flares and aerosol cans. Sporting equipment like ski poles, baseball bats and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Whether traveling short or long-haul, layering up is key to a comfy flight. Opt for loose, breathable fabrics that will keep you fresh and bring a sweater for any in-flight temperature variations. Your feet will be happiest in a pair of sneakers or flat shoes.
  • Reduce your risk of developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition which can be caused by sitting for lengthy periods, by regularly moving around the cabin. You can also do some gentle lower limb exercises in your seat. If you’re at higher risk of developing DVT, think about wearing compression socks.
