Do you have any tips for my flight to Madrid?
Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will help get your Madrid escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It's simple — first, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are some great options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
  • Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Madrid?
Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Madrid a breeze. Read through our useful tips for a speedy journey past security:

  • Have your travel documents and ID at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • There's a good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
