$161 Cheap Flights to Koudum

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a pain-free start to your getaway in Koudum.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an aircraft are no fashion runway. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good idea too.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to reduce your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and move your legs and feet. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

Being prepared before your flight will help make your trip to Koudum a pleasure. We've compiled some top tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
