Flights to Engelhard, North Carolina from

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Engelhard could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Engelhard in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Keep them close by.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
