Cheap Flights to Hampden Sydney , VA from CA $145

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will get your Hampden Sydney escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you carry the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your bag for your phone and charger, medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

It's all about being organized. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Hampden Sydney, here you come:

• Have your passport and travel documents handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
