Cheap Flights to Leesburg

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a stress-free start to your getaway in Leesburg. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, important documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Leesburg a breeze. Check out our top tips for a speedy journey through security:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Travelling with a new cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you on board.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
