Cheap Flights to Trindade

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and enjoying Trindade before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, put in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are your best bet.
• Most travellers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to minimize your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and get your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

The answer is simple — be organised. We've compiled some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Trindade, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Can't travel without your favourite cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
