• A plane trip can be easy if you bring the right things. Firstly, you’ll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don’t have a sharp object lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural-fiber clothing and don’t forget to pack a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin. Pick a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your main luggage.
• The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It’s the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a quality pair of compression tights or socks may also help.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your trip to Tena a pleasure. Below are some top tips for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don’t hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you’ll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Don’t forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won’t be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
