How to survive the flight to Colchester?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your flight to Colchester could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We’ve compiled some useful tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It’s simple — first, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you’ll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don’t have a sharp object hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural fibers and don’t forget to pack a pullover in case it gets cool. Opt for roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
  • Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help minimize this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Colchester?
The answer is — be prepared. We’ve rounded up some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Colchester, here you come:

  • Have your travel documents and ID easily accessible. They’re the first items you’ll be asked to show at airport security.
  • Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • For just a few minutes, you’ll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you’re less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They’ll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
