Cheap Flights to Kissimmee , FL from CA $178

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. We've made a list of handy hints that will help get your Kissimmee vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you bring the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Next, find room in your bag for your phone and charger, medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

It's all about being prepared. We've rounded up some top tips for a speedy trip through security. Look out Kissimmee, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Travelling with a new perfume? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
