We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and exploring Mill Creek in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a good read. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are your best bet.
• A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a good pair of compression socks is also a wise idea.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Mill Creek quick and painless. Below are some handy hints for a swift journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Keep them close by.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, 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 as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
