Flights to Rutland, Massachusetts from

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Rutland could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some useful travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you bring the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and wear closed-toe, flat footwear like sneakers.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

Being organized before your flight will make your trip to Rutland easy and painless. We've compiled some useful tips for a swift journey through security:

• Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
