Cheap Flights to Kattappana from CA $509

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Kattappana vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great flight experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've rounded up some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Kattappana, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Travelling with a new cologne or 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, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
