Cheap Flights to Garibaldi

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Garibaldi could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, official ID, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are always good options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Garibaldi easy and painless. Below are some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
