Wherever you’re coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you’ve prepared well enough. Take a peek at these handy tips that will get your Foam Lake vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you’ll want some toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don’t have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet can be a side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes work well.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There’s plenty you can do to lower your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and move your legs and feet. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform exercises in your seat.

The secret is to be well prepared before you get to security. That way, you’ll be boarding that plane to Foam Lake before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you’ll be back online soon enough.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There’s a possibility that you’ll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won’t be allowed on board.
