Cheap Flights to Bean Station

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organised. We've made a list of handy hints that will help get your Bean Station escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and pick easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Bean Station a breeze. Check out our useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Travelling with a new hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger 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 bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
