Cheap Flights to Silverton

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints for a hassle-free start to your getaway in Silverton. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and pick shoes that are flat and easy to take on and off.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Silverton in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Want to bring along your favourite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
