Cheap Flights to Walnut Cove , NC from CA $218

If you're not prepared, travelling can be overwhelming. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a pleasant start to your vacation in Walnut Cove. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you've got all the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any vital medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

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

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
