S$41 Cheap Flights to Bradu

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Bradu could be a breeze or it could go on forever. Here are some handy hints that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are some great options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Bradu in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Keep them close by.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
