S$114 Cheap Flights to Omi

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. Follow these handy travel tips that will help get your Omi escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of a plane are no fashion runway. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and pack a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The good news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander through the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

It's all about being organised. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Omi, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, 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.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine 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 litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
