2. Prepare your documents
This one goes without saying, but organisation truly is key. Check in online prior to arrival and have all documents in a safe and convenient folder that you need to show the agent, including your passport. This makes the first part of your journey easy and we’re sure the people behind you in line will appreciate your efficiency too!
3. Weigh your bags
Make sure you check your bags weight prior to leaving your home and do any bag swapping before you leave. This avoids any scrutiny from check-in agents, extra charges and a whole load of unnecessary stress.
Be sure to add something identifiable to your luggage too like a coloured ribbon or band as this will save time at the other end when it comes to collecting your belongings from the conveyor belt.
Remember when it comes to packing liquid items in your hand luggage (shampoos, body oils, make-up etc) make sure they are less than 3oz and place them in a plastic, clear zip bag of upto a litre (1 zip bag per person).
4. Prepare for security
It sounds simple but getting caught out in security can waste a lot of valuable airport relaxation time. Before entering security remove your jewellery, belt, shoes and empty any drinks. You may even want to consider your airport outfit prior to flying, minimising accessories and opting for shoes with socks so you don’t have to walk through the gate in your bare feet.
You may even want to think about pre-booking fast-track security (check your chosen airport website to find out how) that will give you the freedom of your own dedicated security lane.
5. Book an airport lounge
Kick your holiday off by booking the luxury of an airport lounge with comfortable seating, snacks, drinks and free WiFi. Some even have access to departure gates so you can skip those dreaded queues!
No one likes to think about the end of their trip or holiday, but booking your return journey with Swift Taxis too is sure to make your transition back on home ground that little bit easier.
