How to survive the flight to The Pocket?
We’ve got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you’ll be hightailing it through airport security and exploring The Pocket in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Travelling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you’ll want some basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don’t have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural fibers and take a cardigan in case it gets cold in the cabin. Pick a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
  • Unfortunately, a risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help reduce this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to The Pocket?
The secret is to be organised before you reach security. That way, you’ll be stepping onto that plane to The Pocket in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

  • First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • For just a few minutes, you’ll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
  • Want to bring along your favourite hand cream? As long as it’s in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you’re allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren’t.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won’t be allowed on board.
