RM2,866 Cheap Flights to Cape Elizabeth

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organised. Follow these handy hints that will get your Cape Elizabeth escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and opt for closed-toe, flat footwear like sneakers.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Cape Elizabeth a piece of cake. Here are some handy hints for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
