S$62 Cheap Flights to Aliartos

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will get your Aliartos holiday started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a cardigan as it can get quite cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
• Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are many ways to minimize your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and move your legs and feet. Wander around the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

It's easy — be prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Aliartos, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
