Cheap Flights to Chrissiesmeer from CA $218

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Chrissiesmeer could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've compiled some handy tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a good book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pick shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

A little pre-planning before your flight will make your getaway to Chrissiesmeer quick and painless. Read through our top tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
