Flights to Warren, Detroit from

If you're not prepared, traveling can be daunting. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a pleasant start to your time in Warren.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your phone and charger, your medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your aircraft are no fashion runway. Wear comfortable clothes and pack a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a wise idea.
• A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks may also help.

The secret is to be prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Warren in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
