Flights to Randolph, New Hampshire from

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will get your Randolph vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, make room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and take a pullover in case it gets cool in the cabin. Always go with flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help reduce this risk.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Randolph in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater 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. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
