  • Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and go for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to slip on and off.
  • You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Memphis?
As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you get to security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Memphis in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

  • Have your boarding pass and ID close by. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers 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 valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
  • Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
