How to survive the flight to Durham?
We’ve pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our top tips and you’ll be cruising through the airport and having a ball in Durham before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a stress-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let’s start with the basics: passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. You’ll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don’t forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.

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 in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common occurrence. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are your best bet.
  • Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There’s lots you can do to minimize your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform some stretches in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Durham?
A little pre-planning before your flight will make your getaway to Durham a breeze. Check out our useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

  • Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you’re allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
  • Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
  • Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you’ll be back online in no time.
  • Can’t travel without your favourite cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-close bag, you’re allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • It’s also likely that you’ll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
  • Pocket knives and other sharp items can’t be taken on board. They’ll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
