Cheap Flights to Mārup

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Mārup could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by donning layers, and opt for slightly roomy, flat shoes like slip-ons.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

The trick is to be well organised before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Mārup in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
