Flights to Hancock, Vermont from

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Hancock could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've compiled some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive looking fresh and ready to go.

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 screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

Being organized before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Hancock a breeze. Here are some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
