Cheap Flights to Wil

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. Follow these handy travel tips that will get your Wil holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pick shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

It's all about being prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Wil, here you come:

• Keep your travel documents and passport close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Want to bring along your favourite perfume? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
