Cheap Flights to Cervantes from CA $69

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Cervantes vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, important documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are good options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Cervantes easy and painless. Check out our useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Have your boarding pass and passport at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
