Cheap Flights to Noord

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a worry-free start to your vacation in Noord.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and pack a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Always opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Noord quick and painless. We've compiled some handy tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite hand cream? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
