• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you’ll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don’t have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and take a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also recommended.
• Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are many ways to reduce your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

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

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you’ll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Don’t forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won’t allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
