No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Elk Falls vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Next, make room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and remember to take a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a sensible choice.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and walk around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

Being organized before your flight can make your trip to Elk Falls a breeze. Read through our handy tips for a swift journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
