• A plane trip can be a great experience if you bring the right things. First of all you’ll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don’t forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don’t have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There’s plenty you can do to minimize your risk. Wear compression socks, stay well hydrated and move your legs and feet. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

It’s all about being prepared. We’ve rounded up some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Karlsbad, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you’ll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you’re less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They’ll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
