Cheap Flights to Henderson

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips for a worry-free start to your time in Henderson. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favourite movies are some great options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and choose shoes that are flat and easy to slip on and off.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Henderson in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take 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-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
