No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organized. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will get your Kimberling City vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pack a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a good choice.
• The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a quality pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce your risk.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Kimberling City a breeze. Read through our useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and ID someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
