Flights to Smyer, Lubbock from

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Smyer could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

It's all about being prepared. We've put together some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Smyer, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, 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), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
