• The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, bring items that’ll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a few magazines. You’ll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.

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 bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won’t be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet can be a side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a smart option.
• It’s likely you’ve heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There’s lots you can do to reduce your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and move your legs and feet. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your getaway to Blackstone easy and painless. Check out our handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and ID at hand. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked to present to airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner’s alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Can’t travel without your favorite hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-close bag, it’s fine to bring with you on board.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you’re less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won’t allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
