Do you have any tips for my flight to Imperial?
We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be zooming through the airport and discovering Imperial in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and go for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to pull on and off.
  • You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Imperial?
It's all about being prepared. We've rounded up some top tips for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Imperial, here you come:

  • 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 for inspection.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Any gels or liquids, 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 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
  • Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
