Depending on where you’re coming from, your journey to Southbroom could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. Here are some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let’s start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. You’ll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don’t have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to pack a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Always go with well-fitting, flat shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Southbroom quick and painless. Below you’ll find some handy tips for a swift journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner’s alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you’ll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• It’s also possible you’ll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They’ll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
