How to survive the flight to Southend-on-Sea?

Accepted Answer

Depending on where you’re coming from, your flight to Southend-on-Sea could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've put together some useful tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

A plane ride can be a pleasure if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

Comfort should always be your number one priority when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet are a common occurrence. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are your best bet.
The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The great news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Question 11

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Southend-on-Sea?

Accepted Answer

Being organised before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Southend-on-Sea a breeze. Below you'll find some handy tips for a stress-free journey through security:

Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often 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.
Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
