How to survive the flight to Newcastle?
Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Newcastle could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some handy tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • First of all, pack in your passport, travel documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are good options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:
  • Comfort really should be the goal when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet can be a side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are your best bet.
  • Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The good news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Newcastle?
The secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Newcastle before you know it. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:
  • Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
