S$281 Cheap Flights to Greendale

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips for a worry-free start to your getaway in Greendale.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen feet can be a side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy work well.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk up and down the aisles as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Greendale in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Keep them close by.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
