S$101 Cheap Flights to Clover

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will get your Clover escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favourite shows are good options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've put together some top tips for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Clover, here you come:

• Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
