Cheap Flights to Queige

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Queige could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful hints that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and go for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Queige in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

• Keep your travel documents and ID easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
