Do you have any tips for my flight to Thornton?
Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Thornton could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've put together some tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane trip can be easy if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank 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 sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, 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:

  • Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to take a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
  • The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Thornton?
A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Thornton a piece of cake. Here are some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

  • Have your boarding pass and ID at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
