Do you have any tips for my flight to Thomson?
We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and enjoying Thomson in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane trip can be a great experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and go for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to slip on and off.
  • You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Thomson?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Thomson in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

  • Have your passport and travel documents handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
  • After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
