How to survive the flight to Stratford?
Wherever you’re jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you’ve planned ahead. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will help get your Stratford escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It’s easy — first, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you’ll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you’ll arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort really should be your prime concern when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet are a common side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are your best bet.
  • Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There’s plenty you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, drink plenty of water and move your legs and feet. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Stratford?
It’s simple — be prepared. We’ve rounded up some top tips for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Stratford, here you come:

  • First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort 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 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.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you’re less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won’t be allowed in the cabin.
