If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a pleasant start to your time in Michigamme.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are always good options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

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. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and bring a jacket just in case you get chilly. Pick flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

It's all about being prepared. We've put together some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Michigamme, here you come:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
