Do you have any tips for my flight to Colchester?
No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. Check out these handy tips that will get your Colchester escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Flying can be a great experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and choose shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to take on and off.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Colchester?
The secret is to be prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Colchester before you know it. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

  • Have your boarding pass and passport close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Travelling with your favourite hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on.
  • It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
