Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Decatur could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

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 screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural-fiber clothing and remember to pack a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Always go with flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to minimize your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Decatur in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and passport easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
