Cheap Flights to Hassocks

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a comfortable start to your getaway in Hassocks.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack your passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are good options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and remember to take a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a wise idea.
• A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a pair of compression socks can also help.

It's easy — be prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Hassocks, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Keep them close by.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Travelling with a new perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
