Cheap Flights to Speyside

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organized. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will get your Speyside vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pack a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a sensible choice.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help minimize this risk.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Speyside, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Keep them close by.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Traveling with a new cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
