Cheap Flights to Margaret River

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. Check out these handy hints that will get your Margaret River holiday started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any daily medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

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 restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and pack a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Always go with well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your luggage.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander through the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The answer is simple — be organised. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Margaret River, here you come:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Travelling with your favourite cologne? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you on board.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
