Cheap Flights to Elkford

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

• A plane ride can be easy if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a comfy 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:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.

The secret is to be prepared before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Elkford in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass close by. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
