Cheap Flights to Yashkul'

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and seeing the best of Yashkul' in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a good book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your number one priority when picking what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea.
• The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a good pair of compression socks also helps reduce the risk.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Yashkul', here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
