Flights to Robertsport, Grand Cape Mount from

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a trouble-free start to your getaway in Robertsport.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets cool. Go for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your main luggage.
• The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks or tights may also help.

It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Robertsport, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Keep them close by.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
