Cheap Flights to Lake Lure

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will get your Lake Lure holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be easy if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.

It's simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Lake Lure, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass handy. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, 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.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
