How to survive the flight to Lumsden?
If you're not prepared, air travel can be tough. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a pain-free start to your time in Lumsden.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First of all, put in your passport, official ID, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to pack a jacket just in case you get chilly. Go for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
  • Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help reduce this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Lumsden?
Being organised before you get to the airport will make your trip to Lumsden a pleasure. Below are some handy tips for a swift journey through security:

  • First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • 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 heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
  • Take all prohibited items out of 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.
