Cheap Flights to Anstruther

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organised. Check out these handy travel tips that will help get your Anstruther holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The secret is to be well organised before you reach security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Anstruther before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item 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-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
