How to survive the flight to Christmas?
If you’re poorly prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But there’s no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a stress-free start to your time in Christmas.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First, put in your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you’ll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favourite shows are always good options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won’t be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The long, narrow aisles of your plane are no fashion runway. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to bring a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also recommended.
  • A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression tights or socks is also a wise idea.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Christmas?
The trick is to be organised before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you’ll be stepping onto that plane to Christmas in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

  • Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They’ll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • It’s also likely that you’ll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
  • Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They’ll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
