Cheap Flights to Pontarme

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a hassle-free start to your holiday in Pontarme. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be easy if you pack the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to take a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Pontarme in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
