Cheap Flights to Gaya

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organised. We've made a list of top travel tips that will help get your Gaya holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to take a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Gaya in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
