Do you have any tips for my flight to Thornhill?
If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints for a trouble-free start to your time in Thornhill. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Flying can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and pick flat, enclosed footwear like slip-ons.
  • Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Thornhill?
A little pre-planning before your flight can make your getaway to Thornhill a pleasure. Read through our handy hints for a swift journey through security:

  • Keep your travel documents and passport at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be separately scanned.
  • Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes 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 objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
