S$63 Cheap Flights to Longes

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organised. We've made a list of handy tips that will help get your Longes holiday started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze 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) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet are a common side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes work well.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help reduce this risk.

The trick is to be prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Longes in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

• Be sure to keep your passport and travel documents within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
