$20 Cheap Flights to Matson

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Matson could be completely painless or it could go on forever. Here are some handy travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans 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:

• Comfort should always be the goal when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes work well.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and wander the aisles wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Matson quick and painless. Check out our useful tips for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
