Cheap Flights to Westport

We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and exploring Westport in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Westport, here you come:

• Have your travel documents and ID close by. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
