Cheap Flights to Lincoln

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a trouble-free start to your holiday in Lincoln. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Next, find room in your bag for your phone and charger, medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

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 liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and wear slightly roomy, flat footwear like slip-ons.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

It's simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Lincoln, here you come:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
