Cheap Flights to Winchester , CA from CA $166

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Winchester could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some useful hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and pack a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Pick flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
• Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help reduce this risk.

The answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some top tips for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Winchester, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
