Cheap Flights to Laguna from CA $126

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Laguna vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel docs, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Laguna in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
