Cheap Flights to Fludir

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. Take a peek at these handy hints that will help get your Fludir holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to take a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Fludir, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Travelling with your favourite cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
