Cheap Flights to Portbury

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and enjoying Portbury in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Next, leave space in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being organised before your flight will make your getaway to Portbury quick and painless. Check out our useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
