Do you have any tips for my flight to Washington?
We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and having a ball in Washington in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Flying can be a stress-free experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
  • Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Washington?
The secret is to be well organised before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Washington in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

  • Be sure to have your travel documents and ID someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
