Cheap Flights to Cowes

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks for a worry-free start to your time in Cowes.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a pleasure if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left for other occasions. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
• A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights can also help.

The answer is simple --- be organised. We've rounded up some top tips for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Cowes, here you come:

• Keep your boarding pass and passport within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
