Do you have any tips for my flight to Ostende?
Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will get your Ostende escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
  • Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Ostende?
The secret is to be organised before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Ostende in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

  • Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a great 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 additional screening.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
