Do you have any tips for my flight to Leeds?
No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. Follow these handy tips that will help get your Leeds holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First of all, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are some great options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and pick shoes that are flat and easy to pull on and off.
  • Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Leeds?
The answer is simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Leeds, here you come:

  • Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
  • Next up, 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. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
