Cheap Flights to Field from CA $152

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a pain-free start to your getaway in Field. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be easy if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick slip-on footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

It's simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some useful tips for an easy trip through security. Watch out Field, here you come:

• Keep your travel documents and passport within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
