Cheap Flights to Bertrand

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. We've put together a list of handy hints that will help get your Bertrand holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and wear closed-toe, flat footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Bertrand quick and painless. Below are some top tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
