No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will get your Kents Bank vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, cash and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up in breathable clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets cool. Opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are many ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

Being organized before your flight will help make your getaway to Kents Bank easy and painless. Check out our useful tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater 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 valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
