Cheap Flights to Fort Drum , NY from CA $58

We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and enjoying Fort Drum before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are some great options. If you intend to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and pick flat, closed-toe footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

It's easy — be prepared. We've put together some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Fort Drum, here you come:

• Have your boarding pass and passport within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Want to bring along your favourite hand cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
