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

  • It's easy — first, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Drax?
Being organized before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Drax a breeze. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

  • Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
  • All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned.
  • Can't travel without your favorite hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you on board.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
  • Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
