Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Hecker could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you bring the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, make room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and choose shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

Being prepared before your flight can make your getaway to Hecker a piece of cake. Check out our handy tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
