Cheap Flights to Great Guana Cay

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips for a comfortable start to your holiday in Great Guana Cay. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you take the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Great Guana Cay a pleasure. Here are some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
