No matter where you’re coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you’re well prepared. We’ve compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Aiken vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you pack the right gear. First of all you’ll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don’t forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, aren’t allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and remember to bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good idea.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The good news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

Being organized before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Aiken a piece of cake. Read through our useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you’re allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you’ll be back online soon enough.
• Don’t forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won’t be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
