Cheap Flights to La Conception

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your La Conception holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a pleasure if you bring the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

The trick is to be well organised before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to La Conception in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
