Depending on where you’re coming from, your flight to Urbana could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. Below are some handy tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It’s simple — first, pack in your passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, you’ll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won’t be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when picking what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet are a common side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea.
• Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to lessen your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Urbana a pleasure. Check out our handy tips for a swift journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport within close reach. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked to show at security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They’ll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you’ll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as it’s in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-lock bag, you’re permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren’t.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won’t be allowed in the cabin.
