Do you have any tips for my flight to Thornton?
We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and seeing the best of Thornton in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane ride can be easy if you've got all the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
  • It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Thornton?
It's all about being prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Thornton, here you come:

  • Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
  • Can't travel without your favourite perfume or cologne? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you on board.
  • It's also likely that you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
  • Take all prohibited items out of 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 and will be confiscated.
