S$1,126 Cheap Flights to Donalds

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organised. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Donalds escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a good book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and don't forget to bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
• The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a pair of compression socks can also help.

The trick is to be organised before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Donalds in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

• Have your boarding pass and ID someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
