Cheap Flights to Albers from CA $99

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. Take a peek at these handy tips that will get your Albers escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

It's all about being prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Watch out Albers, here you come:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and passport someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
