No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organized. We've made a list of top travel tips that will get your Elkhart vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you bring the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to take a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a good choice.
• A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights is also a wise idea.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Elkhart quick and painless. Read through our useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Traveling with a new cologne? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
