S$61 Cheap Flights to Telgate

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will get your Telgate holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are always good options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your prime concern when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet are quite common. Slightly roomy, flat shoes work well.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's plenty you can do to lower your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

The answer is simple — be organised. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Telgate, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
