Cheap Flights to Apex

We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and having a ball in Apex before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Apex easy and painless. Here are some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned.
• Want to bring along your favourite cologne? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
