S$109 Cheap Flights to Banfield

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and seeing the best of Banfield in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you've got all the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and opt for slightly roomy, flat shoes like slip-ons.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Banfield in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Can't travel without your favourite cologne? 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, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
