If you're not prepared, air travel can be testing. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a hassle-free start to your getaway in Renfro Valley.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack your passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your aircraft are no fashion runway. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to bring a sweater as it can get quite cool in the cabin. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
• Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to lower your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and move your legs and feet. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Renfro Valley in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Have your boarding pass and passport at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
