How to survive the flight to Thompsons?
Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Thompsons could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some handy tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Flying can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your important medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort really should be the goal when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet are a common occurrence. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a smart option.
  • Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk up and down the aisles wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Thompsons?
Being organized before you get to the airport will make your trip to Thompsons quick and painless. Check out our top tips for a speedy journey past security:

  • Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's 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 electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be separately scanned.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
  • Pocket knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
