• The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let’s start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, bring items that’ll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a good read. It’s also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, don’t forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
• It’s likely you’ve heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There’s plenty you can do to minimize your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

Being prepared before your flight will make your getaway to Baldone easy and painless. We’ve compiled some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID someplace easily accessible. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked for by airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They’ll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you’ll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They’ll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
