Cheap Flights to Watten

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a trouble-free start to your getaway in Watten. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a great experience if you carry the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and pick shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

The trick is to be well organised before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Watten in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take 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), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
