Flights to Kenbridge, Virginia from

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. We've made a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Kenbridge escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your priority when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet can be a side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a good idea.
• Unfortunately, a risk of flying long distances is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help minimize this risk.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Kenbridge a pleasure. Below are some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your passport and travel documents within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• The X-ray machine comes 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 bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine 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-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
