Cheap Flights to Boyne City , MI from CA $478

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Boyne City could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. Below are some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be easy if you bring the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and choose shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Boyne City before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Have your ID and boarding pass at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Travelling with a new perfume or cologne? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
