Cheap Flights to Saba

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and exploring Saba in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a few magazines. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to bring a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Saba quick and painless. Check out our handy hints for a swift journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
