Cheap Flights to Campo Grande from CA $139

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. Check out these handy tips that will get your Campo Grande vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, put in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are some great options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Campo Grande in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
