If you're not prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips for a worry-free start to your time in Tishomingo.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you take the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, make room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
• You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to mitigate your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Tishomingo before you know it. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
