Question 8

How to survive the flight to Newcastle?

Accepted Answer

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a pleasant start to your holiday in Newcastle.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

First of all, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are always good options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

The aisles of your plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and don't forget to bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also recommended.
Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The great news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

Question 9

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

Accepted Answer

The answer is simple — be organised. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Newcastle, here you come:

First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray 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 luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
