Cheap Flights to Punta Mango

If you're not prepared, travelling can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a pleasant start to your holiday in Punta Mango.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no fashion runway. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to take a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a good idea.
• Most travellers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's lots you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

It's all about being organised. We've rounded up some top tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Punta Mango, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
