We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a ball in Colton before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Next, make room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Colton in a flash. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
• Traveling with a new cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you on board.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
