Cheap Flights to Pekalongan from CA $138

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. Check out these handy travel tips that will get your Pekalongan escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are always good options. If you hope to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• You're probably aware of 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 socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Pekalongan, here you come:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
