Cheap Flights to Plum Point

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Plum Point could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. Below are some handy hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you take the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and go for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

Being organised before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Plum Point a piece of cake. Here are some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
