Flights to Eden, Utah from

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Eden vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

The answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some top tips for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Eden, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass handy. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
