Cheap Flights to Ovalle from CA $38

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Ovalle could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some handy hints that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and go for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

Being prepared before your flight will help make your trip to Ovalle a piece of cake. Here are some handy hints for a speedy journey past security:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and ID at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
