Cheap Flights to Avion

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a worry-free start to your getaway in Avion. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are always good options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger 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 by wearing layers, and pick easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

It's easy — be prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Avion, here you come:

• Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass close by. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Travelling with a new hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
