Do you have any tips for my flight to Durham?
We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and enjoying Durham in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and wear easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
  • 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 Durham?
Being organised before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Durham a piece of cake. Below are some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

  • Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • There's a possibility that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
  • Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
