S$151 Cheap Flights to Meredith

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Meredith could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you pack the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your phone and charger, any vital medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

The trick is to be well organised before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Meredith before you know it. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
