Cheap Flights to Rheinfelden from CA $154

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will get your Rheinfelden escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and pick shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to remove.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Rheinfelden before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
