Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. Check out these handy tips that will help get your Granbury vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you take the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to take a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged 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 improve your circulation.

The secret is to be well organized before you reach security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Granbury in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Have your travel documents and passport handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
