Cheap Flights to Currie

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these handy hints that will help get your Currie holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be easy if you pack the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Next, make room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul 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.

The answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Currie, here you come:

• Keep your boarding pass and passport within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item 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-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
