Cheap Flights to Farmington Hills , MI from CA $199

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Farmington Hills could be completely painless or it could go on forever. Here are some useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and wear flat, slightly roomy footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some top tips for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Farmington Hills, here you come:

• Keep your travel documents and passport within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Can't travel without your favourite perfume? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• There's a good chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
