What do I need for the flight to Illinois?
The secret to a hassle-free flight is preparation. Listed below are some useful tips that'll help get you ready for your journey:

  • Before you step on board the plane, you'll need to show some type of government-issued ID, such as a passport. You'll also need your boarding pass. If you're traveling with children, check with your airline about which documents they require — if any.
  • Take some activities to keep you occupied on your trip to Illinois. Books and electronic devices like tablets and laptops will do the trick. Be sure to take a water bottle with you too. Even on a short flight, it's important to stay well-hydrated.
  • It can get very cool on the plane. If you'd prefer not to shiver your way through the flight, wear an extra layer of clothes.

  • Budget airlines offer first or business-class seating at more affordable prices. Give the full-service carriers a miss and go with one of these cheaper options.
