We’ve got the lowdown on how to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our top tips and you’ll be cruising through the airport and having a blast in Toyooka in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you pack the right gear. First things first, you’ll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
• Unfortunately, a risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help minimize this risk.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you reach the security gate. That way, you’ll be stepping onto that plane to Toyooka in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them handy so you don’t have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They’ll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Traveling with a new perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you’re allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren’t.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
