Cheap Flights to Shelburne from CA $106

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

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and wear slightly roomy, flat shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

Being organized before your flight will help make your trip to Shelburne a pleasure. We've rounded up some top tips for a swift journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually 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-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
