S$204 Cheap Flights to Clayton

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will get your Clayton escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you carry the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your phone and charger, medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and go for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to remove.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

It's easy — be prepared. We've put together some useful tips for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Clayton, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
