Cheap Flights to Drummonds

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organised. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will help get your Drummonds escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a thrilling book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice in clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help minimize this risk.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Drummonds in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

• Keep your boarding pass and ID within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Can't travel without your favourite hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
