Flights to Kennicott, Chitina from

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Kennicott could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and wear flat, slightly roomy footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you get to security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Kennicott in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
