Do you have any tips for my flight to Mackinac Island?
We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and enjoying Mackinac Island in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and opt for closed-toe, flat shoes like slip-ons.
  • Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Mackinac Island?
The trick is to be well prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Mackinac Island in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

  • Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
