Cheap Flights to Bangor , NY from CA $236

We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and having a ball in Bangor in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, important documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are good options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

Being organized before your flight can make your getaway to Bangor easy and painless. Read through our top tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever 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 suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
