Do you have any tips for my flight to Sandbanks?
No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will get your Sandbanks holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
  • You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and opt for flat, slightly roomy footwear like slip-ons.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Sandbanks?
The answer is — be prepared. We've put together some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Sandbanks, here you come:
  • Be sure to keep your ID and travel documents easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
  • Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
