Do you have any tips for my flight to Gretna?
Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Gretna could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. Here are some handy travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • Travelling on a plane can be a great experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
  • Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and pick flat, closed-toe footwear like sneakers.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Gretna?
It's all about being organized. We've rounded up some top tips for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Gretna, here you come:
  • Be sure to have your travel documents and ID someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
  • 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 on board.
