Cheap Flights to Thrapston

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and discovering Thrapston in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you bring the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and go for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Thrapston in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• Your 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 soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
