Cheap Flights to Berkeley Springs

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

• The trick to having a worry-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The answer is simple — be organised. We've compiled some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Berkeley Springs, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and ID within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
