Cheap Flights to Pilot Point

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Pilot Point could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a great experience if you pack the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to pack a pullover just in case you get cold. Always go with roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help lower your risk.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Pilot Point a piece of cake. Here are some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Keep them close by.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
