Cheap Flights to Snowshoe

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a hassle-free start to your holiday in Snowshoe. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to take a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• 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 legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Snowshoe, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned.
• Can't travel without your favourite cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
