• The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It’s also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, aren’t allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your number one priority when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are quite common. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a sensible way to go.
• The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It’s the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a quality pair of compression tights or socks is also a wise idea.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Malcom a pleasure. Check out our top tips for a swift journey past security:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID within easy reach. They’re the first items you’ll be asked to present to airport security.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren’t.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They’ll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
