Cheap Flights to Benton Harbor

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. Check out these handy travel tips that will get your Benton Harbour escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are some great options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are no fashion runway. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk up and down the aisles as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

The secret is to be well prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Benton Harbour in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

• Have your travel documents and ID within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
