Cheap Flights to Kulan from CA $283

If you're not prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a pain-free start to your time in Kulan. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Kulan a piece of cake. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
