If you’re not prepared, air travel can be tough. But there’s no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a hassle-free start to your vacation in Ridgeland.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you’ll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Next, leave space in your bag for your phone and charger, any vital medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don’t have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural fibers and take a pullover in case it gets cool. Go for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your main luggage.
• A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce your risk.

Being organized before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Ridgeland a breeze. Below are some handy tips for a speedy journey past security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them close by so you don’t hold up the queue.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, 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.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you’re less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
