Cheap Flights to Scotter

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and enjoying Scotter in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Scotter in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
