• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander through the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

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

• Be sure to keep your ID and travel documents easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• 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 headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
