Cheap Flights to Cartavio from CA $69

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 handy tips and tricks that will get your Cartavio vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, important documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are some great options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

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

• Keep your passport and travel documents close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
