S$32 Cheap Flights to Great Chatwell

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a pleasant start to your time in Great Chatwell. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.

It's easy — be prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Great Chatwell, here you come:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
