S$198 Cheap Flights to Aga

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will get your Aga holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and bring a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good choice too.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's plenty you can do to lessen your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and move your legs and feet. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Aga, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to airport security. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
