Do you have any tips for my flight to Grimes?
Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Grimes could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a great flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
  • Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, 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 organized before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Grimes quick and painless. Check out our top tips for a swift journey past security:

  • Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
  • After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned.
  • Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
