• It’s easy — first, put in your passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you’ll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you’ll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack 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) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural fibers and remember to pack a pullover just in case you get cold. Always opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your main luggage.
• You’ve probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are plenty of ways to lessen your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and move your legs and feet. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your trip to Linn Creek easy and painless. Here are some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Be sure to have your passport and travel documents within close reach. They’re the first items you’ll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you’ll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand cream? No problem. As long as it’s in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you on board.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won’t be allowed on board.
