No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. Check out these handy hints that will get your Burgettstown escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea too.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The great news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Burgettstown a piece of cake. Check out our useful tips for a swift journey past security:

• Have your passport and boarding pass at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Traveling with 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-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
