Do you have any tips for my flight to Macleantown?
We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be zooming through airport security and having a ball in Macleantown before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First and foremost, pack your passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to pull on and off.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Macleantown?
The secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Macleantown in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

  • Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything 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.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • 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 suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
