Cheap Flights to Lexington , VA from CA $256

We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be speeding through the airport and enjoying Lexington in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, put in your passport, important documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are always good options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your trip to Lexington a breeze. We've rounded up some useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Travelling with your favourite hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you on board.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
