Cheap Flights to Brigadoon

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a worry-free start to your getaway in Brigadoon. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are some great options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you touchdown looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and go for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being organised before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Brigadoon a breeze. Check out our top tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
