We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through airport security and seeing the best of Poulsbo in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your bag for your phone and charger, medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

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

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Poulsbo in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• 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 bags.
