Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Centereach could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've compiled some handy tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to pack a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin. Go for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your main luggage.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to lessen your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

The trick is to be organized before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Centereach before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo 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), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
