Cheap Flights to La Sarre

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

• Travelling on a plane can be a great experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and wear flat, easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

Being organised before your flight will make your trip to La Sarre a pleasure. We've rounded up some top tips for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Travelling with a new hand and nail cream? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you on board.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
