Cheap Flights to Boca Raton , FL from CA $149

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and discovering Boca Raton in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are always good options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, 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:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Boca Raton, here you come:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
