Accepted Answer

We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and exploring Ghent in next to no time.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

A plane trip can be easy if you've got all the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

Double-check that you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

Comfort should always be your main priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet are quite common. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a good idea.
Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk up and down the aisles as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

Question 11

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Ghent?

Accepted Answer

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Ghent quick and painless. Below you'll find some handy hints for a speedy journey through security:

Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
There's a chance you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
