Cheap Flights to Salses-le-Château from CA $83

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a trouble-free start to your getaway in Salses-le-Château. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Next, leave space in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to bring a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for an easy trip through security. Look out Salses-le-Château, here you come:

• Have your travel documents and ID within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. 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 laptop, phone and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favourite perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
