Flights to Rawdon, Leeds from

If you're not prepared, traveling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a comfortable start to your time in Rawdon.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be the goal when picking what to wear on board. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are your best bet.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and wander the aisles as much as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The trick is to be prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Rawdon in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Have your ID and boarding pass close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
