S$860 Cheap Flights to Lewis

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and discovering Lewis in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a great experience if you take the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your priority when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet can be a side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a smart option.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help reduce this risk.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Lewis before you know it. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favourite cologne? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
