Cheap Flights to Cape Carteret

If you're not prepared, travelling can be tough. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a trouble-free start to your getaway in Cape Carteret. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and pick shoes that are flat and easy to take on and off.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

The secret is to be well prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Cape Carteret in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Have your passport and travel documents close by. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
