Cheap Flights to El Pao

We've all come across those travellers who somehow get incredibly cheap fares wherever they go. Would you like to know how to do it for your El Pao holiday? Don't wait until the last minute to lock in your flight. Another easy way to nab a bargain is to compare all options. If your destination has more than one airport, look into the cost of flying into a smaller terminal. Finally, be ready to secure your seat quickly if you find an irresistible price. It might not be available for too long! With a bit of know-how and a little good fortune, the ideal airfare will be yours.

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a stress-free start to your getaway in El Pao. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you carry the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take 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 lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pick shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to remove.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out El Pao, here you come:

• Keep your travel documents and passport within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
