Cheap Flights to Falcon Lake

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organised. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Falcon Lake holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you take the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any vital medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and go for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, 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 airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Falcon Lake in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• 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 trigger the alarm. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Want to bring along your favourite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
