Do you have any tips for my flight to Ilkeston?
Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Ilkeston could be a breeze or it could go on forever. Below are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • First of all, pack your passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are always good options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
  • The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and pick shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to pull on and off.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Ilkeston?
Being organised before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Ilkeston a piece of cake. Check out our top tips for a stress-free journey past security:
  • Keep your travel documents and passport someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
  • Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
