S$942 Cheap Flights to Clifford

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. Check out these essential travel tips that will help get your Clifford escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your important medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and take a cardigan just in case you get chilly. Always go with roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are numerous ways to lower your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Wander around the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Clifford a pleasure. Below you'll find some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. 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.
• There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
