RM2,797 Cheap Flights to Sonoma

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Sonoma could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've put together some useful hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The answer is simple — be organised. We've compiled some useful tips for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Sonoma, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
