Cheap Flights to Margaree from CA $248

If you're not prepared, travelling can be testing. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a comfortable start to your getaway in Margaree. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you take the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to take a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Margaree a piece of cake. Below are some handy hints for a stress-free journey past security:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
• Want to bring along your favourite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
