Question 10

How to survive the flight to Southampton?

Accepted Answer

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these essential travel tips that will get your Southampton holiday started on the right note.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

The aisles of your airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and remember to take a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good idea.
The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

Question 11

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Southampton?

Accepted Answer

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Southampton in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

Keep your ID and travel documents handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned.
Want to bring along your favourite cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on bag.
It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
