Do you have any tips for my flight to Balgowan?
Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Balgowan vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a good read. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
  • Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Balgowan?
The secret is to be prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Balgowan in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

  • Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
  • Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
