Cheap Flights to Staniel Cay

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Staniel Cay escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and pick flat, slightly roomy shoes like sneakers.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Staniel Cay, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
