Do you have any tips for my flight to Detroit?
Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Detroit could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've put together some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Flying can be a great experience if you carry the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Detroit?
The answer is simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Detroit, here you come:

  • Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
  • After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
