Do you have any tips for my flight to Universal City?
We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and seeing the best of Universal City in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by donning layers, and wear closed-toe, flat shoes like slip-ons.
  • Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Universal City?
The secret is to be well organised before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Universal City in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

  • Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Travelling with a new hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on bag.
  • It's also likely that you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
  • Take all prohibited items out of 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.
