Do you have any tips for my flight to Scarborough?
Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Scarborough could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. Here are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a thrilling book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
  • The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pick shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to take on and off.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Scarborough?
It's simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some useful tips for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Scarborough, here you come:
  • First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product 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 be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
  • Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
