Cheap Flights to Stoos from CA $71

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will get your Stoos escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a pleasure if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've put together some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Look out Stoos, here you come:

• Have your travel documents and ID within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, 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.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Travelling with your favourite cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
