Cheap Flights to Glenpool

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Glenpool holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you carry the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

The secret is to be prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Glenpool before you know it. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Can't travel without your favourite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
