£680 Cheap Flights to Grand Canyon Village

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Grand Canyon Village could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to pull on and off.
• 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 simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Grand Canyon Village quick and painless. Read through our useful tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product 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-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
