Cheap Flights to Grafton from CA $197

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and enjoying Grafton before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack your passport, travel documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

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 nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and opt for flat, easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

Being organized before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Grafton a pleasure. Check out our useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Keep your ID and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Can't travel without your favourite hand cream? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you on board.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
