Flights to Galva, Kansas from

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. Check out these handy tips that will help get your Galva vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you take the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

The answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Galva, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product 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.
• It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
