Flights to Boise City, Oklahoma from

If you're not prepared, traveling can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a comfortable start to your vacation in Boise City. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and pick closed-toe, flat shoes like sneakers.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Watch out Boise City, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
