Flights to Lanark, Illinois from

We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and enjoying Lanark in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

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 or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being organized before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Lanark a pleasure. Below you'll find some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume or cologne? 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, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
