Flights to Carencro, Louisiana from

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. Follow these handy hints that will help get your Carencro vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and go for shoes that are flat and easy to take on and off.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The trick is to be well prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Carencro in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Keep your boarding pass and ID close by. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Traveling with a new hand cream? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
