No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Montague vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to take a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Montague in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Have your travel documents and ID at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you on board.
• It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
