Cheap Flights to Villabajo

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

• Air travel can be a great experience if you pack the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, find room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and choose shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to slip on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Villabajo, here you come:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional 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 luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
