Cheap Flights to Stillwater

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a worry-free start to your holiday in Stillwater. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you take the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pick shoes that are flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

Being prepared before your flight can make your trip to Stillwater a piece of cake. Check out our top tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Travelling with your favourite cologne or perfume? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
