Cheap Flights to King Abdullah Economic City

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to King Abdullah Economic City could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. Here are some useful hints that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, 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:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by donning layers, and pick flat, easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The answer is simple — be organised. We've put together some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out King Abdullah Economic City, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
