Cheap Flights to Ohatchee , AL from CA $232

If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be a real challenge. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a comfortable start to your time in Ohatchee. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, important documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well organized before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Ohatchee before you know it. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned.
• Want to bring along your favourite cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
