Flights to Brinkley, Arkansas from

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will get your Brinkley escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Don layers of breathable clothing and don't forget to pack a sweater just in case you get cold. Always opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are many ways to minimize your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and move your legs and feet. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

It's simple — be prepared. We've put together some top tips for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Brinkley, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag 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.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
