Do you have any tips for my flight to Washington?
Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will get your Washington holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • Flying can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Make sure you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable 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:
  • The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and go for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to take on and off.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Washington?
The answer is simple — be organised. We've compiled some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Washington, here you come:
  • First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
  • Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
