• Flying can be a great experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you’ll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, don’t forget to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your prime concern when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a smart option.
• Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to lower your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

The secret is to be well organized before you arrive at airport security. That way, you’ll be stepping onto that plane to Belize City before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you’ll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you’re less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They’ll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
