No matter where you’re coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will help get your Napaskiak vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right gear. First of all you’ll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don’t forget to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, can’t come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your number one priority when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a good idea.
• It’s likely you’ve heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are numerous ways to reduce your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, drink plenty of water and get your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

The trick is to be well prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you’ll be boarding that plane to Napaskiak in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• 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 jackets or coats. They’ll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don’t worry though, you’ll be back online soon enough.
• Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There’s a possibility that you’ll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
