Do you have any tips for my flight to Folkestone?
We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be zooming through airport security and exploring Folkestone before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a thrilling book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
  • Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Folkestone?
A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Folkestone a piece of cake. We've compiled some top tips for a swift journey past security:

  • First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
  • After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Travelling with your favourite perfume or cologne? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
