Cheap Flights to Ita from CA $102

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will get your Ita escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Ita, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Want to bring along your favourite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
