Cheap Flights to Hamilton , AL from CA $221

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of top travel tips that will get your Hamilton escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pick shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Hamilton, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Travelling with a new perfume? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
