No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Chillicothe vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you bring the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited 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:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and opt for slightly roomy, flat shoes like sneakers.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

A little pre-planning before your flight can make your getaway to Chillicothe quick and painless. Check out our useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. 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 gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
