Do you have any tips for my flight to Christmas?
If you're not prepared, air travel can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a pleasant start to your getaway in Christmas. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin 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 flat, enclosed and easy to take on and off.
  • The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Christmas?
The trick is to be prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Christmas in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:
  • First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned separately.
  • Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
