How to survive the flight to St Andrews?

Accepted Answer

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and having a blast in St Andrews in no time at all.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

The key to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as much as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

Question 11

How to get through airport security fast when flying to St Andrews?

Accepted Answer

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

Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. 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 tablet, phone and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
