Cheap Flights to Oksam

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. Check out these essential travel tips that will help get your Oksam vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great flight experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and remember to bring a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also recommended.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's lots you can do to minimize your risk. Wear compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Look out Oksam, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Traveling with a new perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
