• Air travel can be easy if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you’ll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, don’t forget to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won’t be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. The great news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Ballard a breeze. Below are some handy tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don’t hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you’ll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It’s also possible you’ll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines won’t allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
