Cheap Flights to Zayed Town

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Zayed Town holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be easy if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and wear flat, enclosed footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose 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 socks or tights.

It's simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Zayed Town, here you come:

• Keep your passport and boarding pass at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
