Cheap Flights to Marathopoli

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will help get your Marathopoli holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and choose shoes that are flat and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The trick is to be organised before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Marathopoli before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets 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.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
