Flights to Carbon Cliff, East Moline from

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. Take a peek at these handy tips that will help get your Carbon Cliff escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and take a cardigan as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good idea too.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help minimize this risk.

Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Carbon Cliff quick and painless. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items 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 need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
