Flights to Coolidge, Kansas from

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Coolidge vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a pleasure if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be the goal when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet can be a side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before your flight will help make your getaway to Coolidge quick and painless. Read through our top tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume or cologne? 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-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
