Cheap Flights to Creignish

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organised. Follow these top travel tips that will get your Creignish holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. 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 beloved pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Creignish in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
