Cheap Flights to Somatane

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Somatane escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be easy if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Look out Somatane, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
