Flights to Toledo, Illinois from

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Toledo could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you take the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose slip-on footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

Being organized before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Toledo a breeze. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
