Do you have any tips for my flight to Essex?
Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Essex could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. Here are some handy hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane ride can be easy if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Essex?
As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Essex in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

  • Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
  • Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • There's a chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
