Cheap Flights to Coquelles from CA $156

If you're not prepared, travelling can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a pleasant start to your vacation in Coquelles. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack your passport, important documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are good options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you 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 shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to take a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance 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 or tights.

Being organized before your flight can make your getaway to Coquelles a breeze. We've rounded up some useful tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned.
• Can't travel without your favourite hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
