RM1,932 Cheap Flights to Seventeen Seventy

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a pain-free start to your holiday in Seventeen Seventy. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, put in your passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are always good options. If you intend to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Seventeen Seventy quick and painless. Here are some handy hints for a stress-free journey past security:

• Keep your passport and boarding pass at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product 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.
• It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
