• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right stuff. First things first, you’ll need basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your important medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don’t forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don’t have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and pack a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during longer flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
• It’s likely you’ve heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are numerous ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Cardrona easy and painless. Read through our handy tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Keep your passport and boarding pass within easy reach. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It’s also likely that you’ll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They’ll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
