How to survive the flight to Cathcart?
No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. We've put together a list of handy hints that will help get your Cathcart vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • It's easy --- first, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are always good options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Make sure you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:
  • Comfort should always be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a smart option.
  • The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a good pair of compression socks or tights can also help.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Cathcart?
Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your trip to Cathcart a pleasure. Check out our handy tips for a swift journey through security:
  • Keep your passport and boarding pass within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
  • It's also likely that you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
