£476 Cheap Flights to Lenox

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Lenox could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some useful hints that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pick shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Lenox quick and painless. Here are some handy tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Have your passport and boarding pass easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. 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 liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
