Flights to Hansell, Hampton from

If you're not prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips for a comfortable start to your time in Hansell.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pack a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during longer flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a good choice.
• Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to reduce your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform exercises in your seat.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Hansell a piece of cake. Here are some useful tips for a swift journey through security:

• Have your travel documents and passport close by. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume? No problem. 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 keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
