Flights to Blackwell, Texas from

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Blackwell could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've put together some handy travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

The trick is to be well prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Blackwell before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Keep them close by.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
