Do you have any tips for my flight to Canterbury?
Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Canterbury could be a breeze or it could go on forever. Below are some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you take the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
  • The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pick shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to pull on and off.
  • 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 plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Canterbury?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Canterbury in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:
  • Be sure to have your travel documents and ID easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned separately.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style 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 in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
