Do you have any tips for my flight to Elgin?
Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Elgin could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've put together some handy tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It's simple — first, put in your passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are good options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to slip on and off.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Elgin?
It's simple — be prepared. We've compiled some top tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Elgin, here you come:

  • First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
  • Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often 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 in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
