Cheap Flights to Johnson City

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and exploring Johnson City in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a pleasure if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The secret is to be prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Johnson City in a flash. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
