Cheap Flights to Agrapatana

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of handy tips that will get your Agrapatana holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are always good options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and pick shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to slip on and off.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's all about being organised. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Agrapatana, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, 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), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of 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.
