How to survive the flight to Shields?
Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. Take a peek at these handy tips that will get your Shields escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • A plane ride can be a pleasure if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
  • Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a jacket just in case you get chilly. Opt for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
  • Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are plenty of ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Shields?
It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some useful tips for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Shields, here you come:
  • Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
  • Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Want to bring along your favourite cologne? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
