Cheap Flights to Concordia

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Concordia escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack your passport, travel docs, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some great options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your trip to Concordia a pleasure. We've rounded up some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good 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 in the cabin.
