Flights to Little Silver, New Jersey from

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these top travel tips that will help get your Little Silver escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

Being organized before your flight can make your trip to Little Silver a piece of cake. We've rounded up some useful tips for a swift journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
