Cheap Flights to Vernalis

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these handy tips that will get your Vernalis holiday started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

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 gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural fibers and bring a cardigan in case it gets cold in the cabin. Pick well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help reduce this risk.

It's all about being organised. We've rounded up some useful tips for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Vernalis, here you come:

• Have your boarding pass and passport within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
