How to survive the flight to Portsmouth?
If you’re poorly prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there’s no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a pain-free start to your time in Portsmouth.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First things first, put in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, you’ll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are always good options. If you hope to catch a few z’s, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and pack a jacket just in case you get chilly. Opt for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your main luggage.
  • Most travellers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to lessen your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Portsmouth?
A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Portsmouth a piece of cake. We’ve rounded up some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

  • Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner’s alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They’ll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • Electronic devices like laptops and phones 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 hair oil or hand cream, 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-close bag.
  • There’s a possibility that you’ll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won’t be allowed on board.
