Cheap Flights to Ras Madrakah

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a worry-free start to your getaway in Ras Madrakah. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and wear closed-toe, flat shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

A little pre-planning before your flight will make your getaway to Ras Madrakah a breeze. Read through our handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Keep your passport and boarding pass close by. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
