Cheap Flights to Woody Point

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Woody Point escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and choose shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

Being organised before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Woody Point a breeze. Here are some useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
