Cheap Flights to La Union

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. Check out these handy tips that will help get your La Union holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and pick flat, enclosed footwear like sneakers.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

Being organised before your flight will help make your getaway to La Union easy and painless. We've compiled some handy hints for a speedy journey through security:

• Keep your travel documents and ID at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Travelling with a new perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you on board.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
