Cheap Flights to Burgen

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints for a pain-free start to your holiday in Burgen. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, official ID, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Burgen easy and painless. We've rounded up some top tips for a swift journey past security:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
