Flights to Nora Springs, Iowa from

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Nora Springs could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. Here are some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack in your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are always good options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and bring a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a good choice.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The great news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as often as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Nora Springs in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Keep your travel documents and passport handy. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
