Do you have any tips for my flight to Elkwater?
If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a stress-free start to your getaway in Elkwater. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • First things first, put in your passport, official ID, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
  • Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Elkwater?
It's simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Elkwater, here you come:
  • Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
