Cheap Flights to Harwich Port

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and exploring Harwich Port before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Harwich Port a pleasure. Check out our top tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• 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 safely in your checked luggage.
