Flights to Brownfield, Maine from

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. Take a peek at these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Brownfield vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are flat and easy to remove.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's all about being prepared. We've rounded up some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Brownfield, here you come:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
