Cheap Flights to Kerns

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Kerns holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, official ID, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some great options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and pick shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

It's all about being prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Look out Kerns, here you come:

• Keep your passport and boarding pass at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
• Can't travel without your favourite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container 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 baggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
