• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right gear. First of all you’ll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your bag for your phone and charger, any vital medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take 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 Swiss Army knife lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight often lies in the clothes you wear. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander through the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

The answer is simple — be organized. We’ve put together some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Kontiolahti, here you come:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It’s also likely that you’ll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in 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.
