• Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right gear. First of all you’ll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won’t be allowed on. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help lower your risk.

The secret is to be prepared before you reach the security gate. That way, you’ll be stepping onto that plane to Bamenda in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID at hand. They’re the first things you’ll be asked to present to security.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as it’s in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you’re less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They’ll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
