Cheap Flights to St. George

If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a pleasant start to your time in St. George. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel docs, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to St. George quick and painless. Check out our useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Keep your passport and boarding pass handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
