How to survive the flight to Grimes?
If you’re not prepared, travelling can be challenging. But don’t hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a comfortable start to your getaway in Grimes.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you’ll want some basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Next, leave space in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don’t have a pocket knife hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your aim here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Don layers of breathable clothing and remember to bring a cardigan in case it gets cool in the cabin. Always opt for roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked luggage.
  • Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as often as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Grimes?
Being organised before you get to the airport can make your trip to Grimes a piece of cake. We’ve compiled some useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

  • Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don’t worry, you’ll be back online soon enough.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in 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 in the cabin.
