Cheap Flights to Williamsburg

We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and enjoying Williamsburg in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a pleasure if you've got all the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure 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 your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've put together some top tips for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Williamsburg, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
