Cheap Flights to Cap-Chat from CA $325

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a pleasant start to your getaway in Cap-Chat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a great experience if you've got all the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

Being organized before your flight can make your getaway to Cap-Chat a piece of cake. Read through our handy hints for a speedy journey through security:

• Be sure to have your passport and travel documents within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Travelling with your favourite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
