Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Fort Mitchell vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and go for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

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

• Keep your ID and boarding pass easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Traveling with a new hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no greater 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 baggage.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
