Cheap Flights to Nong Bua from CA $137

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Nong Bua escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you pack the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Next, find a spot in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well organized before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Nong Bua in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport close by. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
