Cheap Flights to Waterville

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Waterville escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you carry the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Next, find a spot in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and take a cardigan in case you get cold. Pick a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and wander the aisles whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

Being prepared before your flight will help make your trip to Waterville a piece of cake. Below you'll find some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. 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 minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
