Cheap Flights to Hyde from CA $274

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will help get your Hyde escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a good read. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

It's all about being prepared. We've rounded up some top tips for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Hyde, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
