RM1,032 Cheap Flights to Santa Fe

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Santa Fe could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Santa Fe, here you come:

• Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
