• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you’ve got all the right stuff. First things first, you’ll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don’t forget to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your prime concern when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a good idea.
• Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to lower your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and move your legs and feet. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

A little pre-planning before your flight will make your trip to Crescent a breeze. Here are some top tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Can’t travel without your favorite hand and nail cream? As long as it’s in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren’t.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
