No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Covington escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.

The secret is to be well organized before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Covington in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must 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 earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
