Cheap Flights to Speedwell

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. Follow these handy hints that will get your Speedwell holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you reach security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Speedwell in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Be sure to keep your ID and travel documents easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item 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.
• There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
