Maximize space by packing travel-sized toiletries, wearing your heaviest clothing, and coordinating your outfits effectively. This approach also helps you avoid the wait at baggage claim upon arrival.
  • Bring your own entertainment—many short-haul flights may lack in-flight entertainment options. Download your favorite TV shows, movies, music, or podcasts ahead of time, and consider bringing a book to keep yourself entertained. Be sure to charge your devices fully before you board.
  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—even for short or domestic flights, it’s advisable to arrive at least 1.5 to 2 hours prior to departure, taking into account potential traffic and security lines.
  • Bring your own snacks and water—pack your own snacks and a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated and save money while at the airport.

  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—make sure to arrive at least 3 hours before your departure for international flights to accommodate check-in, security, and immigration processes.
  • Relax at the airport—if you have spare time, take the opportunity to explore the shops, grab a coffee, or unwind at the gate or in a departure lounge if you have access. Airport Wi-Fi is generally free and available.

How to survive the flight to Kirby?
Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Kirby vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a great travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be the goal when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet are a common occurrence. Flat, slightly roomy shoes work well.
  • The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a good pair of compression socks may also help.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Kirby?
The answer is simple — be organized. We've put together some useful tips for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Kirby, here you come:

  • Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Traveling with a new hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional 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 safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
