RM1,174 Cheap Flights to Goring-on-Thames

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organised. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will get your Goring escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

The trick is to be organised before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Goring before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
