Cheap Flights to Travelers Rest

We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a ball in Travellers Rest in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, official ID, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are good options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Travellers Rest a piece of cake. We've rounded up some handy hints for a speedy journey through security:

• Have your boarding pass and passport at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Travelling with a new cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big 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 or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
