Cheap Flights to Eagle Bay

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Eagle Bay escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, put in your passport, important documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are always good options. If you plan to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and pick shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to slip on and off.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's all about being prepared. We've rounded up some useful tips for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Eagle Bay, here you come:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Can't travel without your favourite cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
