Cheap Flights to Fort Nelson from CA $374

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Fort Nelson could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've compiled some helpful hints for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Fort Nelson, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
• Travelling with a new hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
