Cheap Flights to Malden from CA $50

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be speeding through airport security and seeing the best of Malden in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you bring the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and wear slightly roomy, flat shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being organized before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Malden easy and painless. We've compiled some handy hints for a speedy journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
