Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Natchez vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural fibers and remember to pack a cardigan in case it gets cool in the cabin. Go for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your luggage.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to lessen your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and get your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your trip to Natchez quick and painless. Below you'll find some useful tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Have your passport and travel documents handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
