Cheap Flights to Ashland

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Ashland could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some useful hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and opt for slightly roomy, flat footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some helpful hints for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Ashland, here you come:

• Keep your travel documents and ID at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your 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 soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
