Cheap Flights to Lantic

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will get your Lantic escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural-fiber clothing and remember to pack a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin. Always opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's all about being prepared. We've compiled some top tips for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Lantic, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
