Do you have any tips for my flight to Lead?
No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Lead holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, cash and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
  • Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Lead?
The secret is to be organised before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Lead before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:
  • Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned separately.
  • Can't travel without your favourite hand and nail cream? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on.
  • It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
