Cheap Flights to Newcastle , OK from CA $190

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Newcastle could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. Here are some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack your passport, important documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are some great options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

The secret is to be organized before you get to security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Newcastle in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Keep your travel documents and passport close by. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
