Cheap Flights to Bluff

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will get your Bluff holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be easy if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.

Being organised before your flight will make your trip to Bluff a breeze. Check out our handy hints for a stress-free journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
