Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Lakewood could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfortable clothing and take a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also recommended.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The simple answer is --- be prepared. We've compiled some useful tips for an easy trip through security. Look out Lakewood, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
