Cheap Flights to Bettles , AK from CA $235

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will get your Bettles escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and choose shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

It's easy — be prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Bettles, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
