Do you have any tips for my flight to Dounby?
Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Dounby could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've compiled some tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Flying can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to pull on and off.
  • The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Dounby?
As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Dounby in a flash. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

  • Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at 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. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
  • Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
