Cheap Flights to Trinidad

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be breezing through airport security and enjoying Trinidad in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack your passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favourite shows are good options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and opt for flat, easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

Being organised before your flight will make your trip to Trinidad a piece of cake. Below are some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
