Cheap Flights to Grants Pass

If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a pleasant start to your getaway in Grants Pass. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack in your passport, important documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and choose shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've put together some helpful hints for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Grants Pass, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
