Do you have any tips for my flight to Southend?
Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Southend could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. Here are some useful travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are always good options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
  • The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Southend?
The answer is simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some top tips for an easy trip through security. Watch out Southend, here you come:

  • Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
  • Travelling with a new perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
