Cheap Flights to Alme

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organised. We've made a list of top travel tips that will get your Alme escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and wear flat, slightly roomy footwear like sneakers.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.

The answer is simple — be organised. We've pulled together some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Alme, here you come:

• Have your passport and boarding pass within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Travelling with a new hand cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
