• First, pack in your passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you’ll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch a few z’s, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you’ll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won’t be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
• A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It’s the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good pair of compression socks is also recommended.

It’s easy — be prepared. We’ve pulled together some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Look out Akokwa, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you’re allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you’ll be back online before you know it.
• Don’t forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often 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 inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you’re less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• 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 suitcase. They won’t be allowed in the cabin.
