Cheap Flights to Sabine , WV from CA $469

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a comfortable start to your getaway in Sabine. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and opt for flat, slightly roomy footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Sabine, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Travelling with your favourite perfume? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
