If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints for a stress-free start to your time in Franklin.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and don't forget to bring a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
  • The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander through the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

  • All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
