Depending on where you’re coming from, your flight to Pineville could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We’ve compiled some handy travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It’s also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don’t forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won’t be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and bring a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before your flight can make your trip to Pineville a breeze. Below you’ll find some useful tips for a speedy journey past security:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don’t hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They’ll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don’t worry though, you’ll be back online soon enough.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won’t allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
