Don’t leave locking in your flight to Curry Village until the very last minute. That’s one move well-versed travelers use to get the best prices. Booking in advance means more choices and less expensive flights. Don’t stop there, however. Do some research and check if there are a couple of airports at your destination. Prices often differ depending on which airport you pick. Be sure to compare fares across air carriers too. Finally, be ready to book quickly if you stumble on a great deal. It might not be available for too long. With a bit of know-how and some luck, the ideal airfare can be yours.

Wherever you’re coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you’re well organized. Check out these handy travel tips that will get your Curry Village vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, travel docs, wallet and daily medications. Next, you’ll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you intend to catch a few z’s, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you’ll step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, aren’t allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are your best bet.
• A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It’s the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a pair of compression socks may also help.

It’s easy — be prepared. We’ve put together some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Curry Village, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops 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.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It’s also possible you’ll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They’ll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
