Cheap Flights to Skei

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. Check out these top travel tips that will help get your Skei holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and go for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

The answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Skei, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
