Do you have any tips for my flight to Memphis?
If you're not prepared, travelling can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a pain-free start to your time in Memphis. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your top priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Memphis?
It's simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for an easy trip through security. Watch out Memphis, here you come:

  • Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
