Cheap Flights to Masset from CA $295

If you're not prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a hassle-free start to your vacation in Masset. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and opt for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to slip on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before your flight can make your trip to Masset a breeze. Below are some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Travelling with your favourite hand and nail cream? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you on board.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
