Cheap Flights to Adel , IA from CA $137

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Adel escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and pick flat, closed-toe footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Adel in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned.
• Can't travel without your favourite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
