How to survive the flight to Lead?
Wherever you’re coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you’re prepared. Check out these handy tips that will help get your Lead escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First of all, pack your passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you’ll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are good options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant so you’ll arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don’t have a pocket knife hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The best way to ensure a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left for other occasions. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
  • A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It’s the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a good pair of compression socks may also help.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Lead?
A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Lead a breeze. Below you’ll find some handy tips for a swift journey through security:

  • Keep your boarding pass and ID someplace easily accessible. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked for by security.
  • Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
  • All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
  • Travelling with your favourite hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as it’s in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-close bag, you’re allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won’t be allowed on board.
