How to survive the flight to Ilkeston?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your trip to Ilkeston could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We’ve rounded up some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right gear. First things first, you’ll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any vital medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, aren’t allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should always be the goal when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a good idea.
  • Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There’s lots you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Ilkeston?
Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Ilkeston a piece of cake. Below you’ll find some useful tips for a speedy journey past security:

  • First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security. Have them close by so you don’t hold up the line.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • For just a few minutes, you’ll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
  • Travelling with a new hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you’re less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won’t be allowed on board.
