S$229 Cheap Flights to Yankton

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a pleasant start to your holiday in Yankton. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and choose shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your trip to Yankton a piece of cake. We've rounded up some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Have your ID and boarding pass close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Want to bring along your favourite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
