We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and seeing the best of Medford in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

A little pre-planning before your flight can make your getaway to Medford quick and painless. Read through our useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices must also be sent 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). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
