Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Deerfield Beach could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've compiled some tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you take the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your number one priority when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a smart option.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are plenty of ways to reduce your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, drink lots of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Look out Deerfield Beach, here you come:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
