Flights to St Austell, Cornwall from

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. We've made a list of handy travel tips that will get your St Austell escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight can be as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
• Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to mitigate your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

Being organized before you get to the airport can make your getaway to St Austell a breeze. We've compiled some useful tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Keep your ID and travel documents easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
