Depending on where you’re coming from, your flight to Rugeley could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful hints that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you’ll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. 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 slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
• Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are plenty of ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and move your legs and feet. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

It’s simple — be prepared. We’ve put together some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Rugeley, here you come:

• Keep your travel documents and ID someplace easily accessible. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked for by airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you’re less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won’t be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
