We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and seeing the best of Port Jefferson Station before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pick shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

It's easy — be prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Port Jefferson Station, here you come:

• Have your travel documents and ID at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
