Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your phone and charger, any medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards. > > > Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage: > > > - Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). > > > What to wear on a flight: > > > - The key to a comfortable flight is as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it. > - The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good pair of compression socks is also a wise idea. ### How to get through airport security fast when flying to Leeston? > - Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue. > - Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near. > - For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner. > - Can't travel without your favorite cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you on board. > - The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't. > - Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage. \*Flight schedules are subject to change. ## Book with confidence # Tips to find the cheapest flights to Leeston **The cheapest day to fly** Get started finding a cheap flight to Leeston on Expedia by either choosing a deal on this page or entering into the search bar your travel dates, origin airport, and whether you want roundtrip or one-way airfare.
