We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and exploring Charlestown in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, official ID, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to take a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Charlestown before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
