British Airways has launched a new YouTube video detailing handy travel tips for people jetting off abroad over the coming months.

Unveiled in time for half-term – when around 900,000 people will fly with the airline – the information applies to people whether they are booked on long-haul flights or plan shorter stays closer to home.

For anyone booking Thailand holidays, the advice on adjusting to a different climate is particularly useful.

There are also tips on flying with children, remembering passports, packing and baggage allowances.

Brits jetting off on Phuket holidays are advised to pack their swimwear or bikini in their hand luggage so they are "good to go" as soon as they arrive and hit the beach.

Abigail Comber, head of brands and marketing at the airline, said: "With thousands of our worldwide team travelling around the globe and 30 million customers flying with British Airways a year, the airline is a font of top tips to make travel easy and the video is a nice way for us to pass that on."
