Flights to Avon, North Carolina from

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and seeing the best of Avon in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you've got all the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

It's easy — be prepared. We've compiled some top tips for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Avon, here you come:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go 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 technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
