Cheap Flights to Sunds from CA $153

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Sunds could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you take the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Next, find room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pick shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to take on and off.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

The trick is to be organized before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Sunds before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers 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 luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
