Cheap Flights to Saint Clair , PA from CA $439

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a pleasant start to your getaway in Saint Clair.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you hope to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your priority when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet can be a side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a good idea.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk up and down the aisles whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your trip to Saint Clair a breeze. Read through our handy tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and ID at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
