Cheap Flights to Pebble Beach

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Pebble Beach could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. Below are some handy travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and choose shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Pebble Beach a breeze. Read through our handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
