We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a blast in Macon in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be easy if you pack the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Macon in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything 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 need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
