Cheap Flights to Skamby

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Skamby could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've put together some useful tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you take the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and opt for easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

The answer is simple — be organised. We've compiled some useful tips for an easy trip through security. Look out Skamby, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
