Wherever you’re jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you’ve planned ahead. Check out these handy hints that will help get your DeRidder escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring items that’ll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a few magazines. You’ll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, aren’t allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Flat, slightly roomy shoes work well.
• Unfortunately, a risk of flying long distances is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help reduce this risk.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you reach the security gate. That way, you’ll be hopping onto that plane to DeRidder in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport within easy reach. They’re the first items you’ll be asked for by security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They’ll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you’ll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Don’t forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock 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 heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They’ll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
