Do you have any tips for my flight to Lincoln?
We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a ball in Lincoln in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a great travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
  • The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Lincoln?
The answer is simple — be organised. We've put together some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Lincoln, here you come:

  • Keep your ID and boarding pass easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, 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 tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
