Cheap Flights to Ingonish Beach

We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and seeing the best of Ingonish Beach before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and pick shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Ingonish Beach, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. 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.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
