S$345 Cheap Flights to Greenacres

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a hassle-free start to your holiday in Greenacres. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and opt for closed-toe, flat shoes like slip-ons.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

Being organised before your flight can make your trip to Greenacres a pleasure. We've compiled some useful tips for a swift journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Travelling with your favourite hand cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
