Do you have any tips for my flight to Bowie?
If you're not prepared, travelling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a trouble-free start to your holiday in Bowie. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel docs, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are good options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

  • You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and opt for flat, easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Bowie?
The answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some top tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Bowie, here you come:

  • Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
  • Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • There's a possibility that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
  • Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
