Do you have any tips for my flight to Drake?
Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Drake could be completely painless or it could go on forever. Here are some handy tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, official ID, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Drake?
A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Drake a breeze. Below are some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

  • Keep your boarding pass and ID at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
  • Want to bring along your favourite hand cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you on board.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
