How to survive the flight to Stansted?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your flight to Stansted could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We’ve rounded up some handy tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you’ll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Next, find room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. 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:

  • While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, aren’t allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The key to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
  • A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It’s the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression tights or socks may also help.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Stansted?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you’ll be stepping onto that plane to Stansted in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

  • Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner’s alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. 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.
  • Travelling with a new perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it’s fine to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren’t.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won’t be allowed in the cabin.
