Do you have any tips for my flight to Southport?
Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will help get your Southport holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray 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. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
  • It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Southport?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Southport in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

  • Be sure to keep your ID and travel documents easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
