S$214 Cheap Flights to La Ciotat

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of handy tips that will help get your La Ciotat holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and choose shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to remove.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

It's simple — be prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out La Ciotat, here you come:

• Have your passport and boarding pass within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
