Do you have any tips for my flight to St Bees Island?
No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will help get your St Bees Island holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane trip can be easy if you carry the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
  • Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to St Bees Island?
The secret is to be prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to St Bees Island in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

  • First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned separately.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
