How to survive the flight to Motherwell?
If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints for a comfortable start to your time in Motherwell.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural-fiber clothing and remember to pack a cardigan just in case you get chilly. Go for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
  • Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's lots you can do to lower your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Motherwell?
The answer is simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some top tips for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Motherwell, here you come:

  • Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
  • After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
  • It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
