Question 10

How to survive the flight to Hamilton?

Accepted Answer

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. We've made a list of handy travel tips that will get your Hamilton escape started on the right note.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

Flying can be a pleasure if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your bag for your phone and charger, any medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

Comfort should always be the goal when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are your best bet.
A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a pair of compression tights or socks is also recommended.

Question 11

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Hamilton?

Accepted Answer

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Hamilton in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
Your 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 in no time.
Can't travel without your favourite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
It's also likely that you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
