Cheap Flights to Saint David , AZ from CA $258

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organized. We've made a list of handy tips that will get your Saint David vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are good options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, 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 airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and opt for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to slip on and off.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.

It's simple — be prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Saint David, here you come:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item 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-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
