Cheap Flights to Lires from CA $70

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of handy tips that will help get your Lires vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack your passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and wear flat, enclosed footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Lires quick and painless. We've rounded up some top tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favourite hand cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you on board.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
