Cheap Flights to Fort Washington , PA from CA $308

We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and exploring Fort Washington in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've put together some tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Fort Washington, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
