Flights to Shallowater, Lubbock from

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Shallowater could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. Below are some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be easy if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, make room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to take a cardigan as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also recommended.
• Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help minimize this risk.

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

• Keep your boarding pass and passport someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
