Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will get your Collinsville vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to bring a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good choice too.
• A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks may also help.

The trick is to be well organized before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Collinsville in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
• Traveling with your favorite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
