Do you have any tips for my flight to Colchester?
Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Colchester escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First, put in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your main priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Colchester?
The answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Colchester, here you come:

  • Have your boarding pass and passport within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
  • Traveling with your favorite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
