Cheap Flights to Hell's Gate

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a trouble-free start to your time in Hell's Gate. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready 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 guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Hell's Gate a breeze. Below you'll find some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
