How to survive the flight to Colchester?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your journey to Colchester could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We’ve put together some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First and foremost, pack in your passport, official ID, wallet and daily medications. Next, you’ll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are some great options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don’t have a sharp object hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets cool in the cabin. Opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your main luggage.
  • Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help minimize this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Colchester?
The answer is simple — be prepared. We’ve put together some top tips for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Colchester, here you come:

  • Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
  • After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
  • Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • It’s also likely that you’ll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
  • Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They’ll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
