Cheap Flights to Gouvia

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Gouvia could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful hints that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a great experience if you take the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and wear flat, slightly roomy footwear like sneakers.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Gouvia a breeze. Read through our useful tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Have your ID and boarding pass at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
