Flights to Petauke, Eastern from

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Petauke could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some useful hints that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are your best bet.
• A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks is also recommended.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you get to security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Petauke in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
