Do you have any tips for my flight to Leicester?
If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a worry-free start to your getaway in Leicester. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First and foremost, put in your passport, important documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are good options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and opt for flat, easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Leicester?
The trick is to be well prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Leicester before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

  • Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
  • Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
