Flights to Arabi, Georgia from

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. Take a peek at these handy hints that will get your Arabi vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and wear flat, enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Arabi, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often 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 single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
