S$71 Cheap Flights to Ajax

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Ajax could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, important documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are always good options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left for other occasions. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The trick is to be well prepared before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Ajax in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
