Cheap Flights to Eagle

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will help get your Eagle escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and wear flat, enclosed footwear like slip-ons.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.

The trick is to be prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Eagle in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

• Keep your travel documents and ID someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required 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 have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favourite cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• There's a good chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
