Question 9

How to survive the flight to Alton?

Accepted Answer

If you're not prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips for a pain-free start to your holiday in Alton.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, important documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are always good options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

The narrow aisles of your plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's lots you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, drink plenty of water and get your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

Question 10

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

Accepted Answer

Being organised before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Alton easy and painless. Read through our handy hints for a stress-free journey through security:

First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
