No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of handy hints that will help get your Cedar Bluff vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, put in your passport, official ID, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

It's easy — be prepared. We've put together some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Cedar Bluff, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra 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.
