Cheap Flights to Soalala from CA $7,231

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will get your Soalala vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, important documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and go for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well organized before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Soalala in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
