Cheap Flights to High Rock from CA $169

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a pain-free start to your getaway in High Rock. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you take the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack 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 beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to take a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to High Rock easy and painless. Below you'll find some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Travelling with your favourite hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is 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 in your carry-on baggage.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
