Cheap Flights to Brad

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

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you pack the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and maybe a quality 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:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and bring a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin during longer flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a good choice.
• It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to minimize your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and move your legs and feet. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform exercises in your seat.

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

• Keep your travel documents and passport within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
