Cheap Flights to Catlin , IL from CA $307

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organized. Take a peek at these handy hints that will help get your Catlin vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any vital medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your aircraft are no fashion runway. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to take a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a wise idea.
• The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a pair of compression tights or socks is also recommended.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some useful tips for an easy trip through security. Watch out Catlin, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Traveling with a new cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
