Flights to Parkman, Guilford from

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Parkman could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left for other occasions. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
• You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to reduce your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and get your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

The secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Parkman in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume? As long as the volume is no greater 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.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
