Do you have any tips for my flight to New Brighton?
If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a pain-free start to your holiday in New Brighton. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are good options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
  • Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to New Brighton?
Being prepared before your flight will help make your trip to New Brighton a pleasure. Check out our handy tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

  • Be sure to keep your passport and travel documents close by. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
  • Sharp or pointed items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
