We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and having a ball in Armonk in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to bring a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a sensible choice.
• A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce your risk.

The trick is to be organized before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Armonk in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
