Flights to Greeley, Nebraska from

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a pleasant start to your time in Greeley.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural fibers and bring a pullover in case it gets cool in the cabin. Opt for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Greeley a breeze. Below you'll find some useful tips for a speedy journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
