Packing tips

To avoid bags becoming jammed on the conveyor belt, please ensure that:

All loose straps are tied up or removed.
All flaps are securely fastened.
Extendable handles are retracted or secured.
Old tags and barcodes are removed.

When deciding what to pack and what to carry as hand baggage, please bear the following in mind:

Don’t wrap gifts. Security staff may wish to view them, and so may unwrap them.
Consider putting a change of clothes, or at least underwear and a spare shirt, into your hand baggage. It can mean a little extra comfort at the end of a long-haul flight, or if hold baggage is delayed.
Never carry anything on to an aircraft for anyone else.
