Cheap Flights to Trapani

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Trapani could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. Here are some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you pack the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by donning layers, and pick easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The trick is to be well prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Trapani in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

• Keep your travel documents and ID within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, 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 several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
