Flights to McLeansville, Greensboro from

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to McLeansville could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. Below are some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, important documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before your flight will make your trip to McLeansville easy and painless. Here are some handy hints for a stress-free journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
