Cheap Flights to South Shore , KY from CA $470

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. Take a peek at these handy hints that will help get your South Shore escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's all about being organized. We've compiled some top tips for an easy trip through security. Watch out South Shore, here you come:

• Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
