Cheap Flights to Ndola from CA $170

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Ndola could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. Below are some handy hints that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, make room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Ndola a piece of cake. Below you'll find some top tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
