Holiday top tips for going through the airport

Opt for comfy loungewear - not only to get a killer Insta pic at the airport but to avoid feeling stuck in an uncomfortable pair of jeans when sitting on a flight.

Use a clear make-up bag. Finding a cosmetics bag that is already airport-approved will save you plenty of time when rushing to your gate.

Remember not to take any products over 100ML through security when travelling with hand luggage.
