Cheap Flights to Beccles

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a hassle-free start to your holiday in Beccles. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and choose shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Beccles a breeze. Check out our handy hints for a stress-free journey through security:

• Have your travel documents and ID easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. 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 inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
