Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. Check out these essential travel tips that will get your Colt escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

Flying can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, make room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

Comfort really should be your highest priority when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet are a common occurrence. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy work well.
A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a good pair of compression tights or socks can also help.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Colt?

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Colt, here you come:

Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items 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 the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
