Flights to Comanche, Texas from

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

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being prepared before your flight can make your trip to Comanche a pleasure. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. 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 inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
