Cheap Flights to St. Ann's Bay

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will help get your St. Ann's Bay holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a good book. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change 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 your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and choose shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to pull on and off.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

The trick is to be organised before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to St. Ann's Bay in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

• Be sure to have your passport and travel documents close by. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Travelling with your favourite hand cream? No 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 can keep it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
