Cheap Flights to Surfside

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Surfside could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by wearing layers, and wear flat, easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

It's easy — be prepared. We've compiled some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Surfside, here you come:

• Keep your boarding pass and passport close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
