Do you have any tips for my flight to Merlín?
If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a stress-free start to your holiday in Merlín. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
  • Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
  • It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Merlín?
Being organised before your flight will help make your getaway to Merlín easy and painless. We've compiled some handy tips for a stress-free journey through security:
  • Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be separately scanned.
  • Travelling with a new hand cream? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • It's also possible you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
