No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these essential travel tips that will get your Rocklin vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you pack the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no fashion runway. Don comfortable layers and remember to bring a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk up and down the aisles wherever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

The answer is simple --- be organized. We've put together some helpful hints for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Rocklin, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
