Do you have any tips for my flight to Grimes?
Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Grimes could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some handy hints that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First of all, pack your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favourite shows are always good options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
  • Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Grimes?
Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Grimes easy and painless. Here are some handy tips for a stress-free journey past security:

  • First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
  • 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 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
