Cheap Flights to Bermagui

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Bermagui holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and choose shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to slip on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your trip to Bermagui a breeze. Here are some handy hints for a stress-free journey through security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
