Flights to Randolph, Texas from

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. Follow these handy tips that will help get your Randolph vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember 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 rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your main priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a good idea.
• Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to minimize your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Randolph quick and painless. Below you'll find some handy hints for a stress-free journey through security:

• Keep your passport and boarding pass handy. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you on board.
• There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
