• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you’ll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you plan to catch a few z’s, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, 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 selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet are a common occurrence. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a good idea.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander through the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Gais a piece of cake. Check out our handy hints for a swift journey through security:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID within easy reach. They’re the first things you’ll be asked to present to security.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few moments, you’ll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Don’t forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner 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.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you’re less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• 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 suitcase. They won’t be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
