How to survive the flight to Thomson?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your journey to Thomson could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First, pack in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you’ll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch a few z’s, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you’ll arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, won’t be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should always be your highest priority when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
  • Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help minimize this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Thomson?
The simple answer is — be prepared. We’ve rounded up some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Thomson, here you come:

  • Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • For just a few minutes, you’ll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
  • 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.
