Cheap Flights to Muharraq

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organised. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will help get your Muharraq holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and opt for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

The secret is to be organised before you reach security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Muharraq in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board need to be in containers 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 are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
