Flights to Scott, Louisiana from

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will help get your Scott vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and go for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Look out Scott, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
