• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right gear. First of all you’ll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

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 carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and take a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin. Opt for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your main luggage.
• You’ve probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There’s lots you can do to reduce your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and get your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Lake Wales easy and painless. We’ve compiled some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don’t worry though, you’ll be back online before you know it.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-close bag, you’re permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you’re less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional 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 suitcase. They won’t be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
