Flights to Sharon Springs, New York from

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Sharon Springs could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some handy travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Next, make room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by donning layers, and opt for slightly roomy, flat footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

Being organized before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Sharon Springs a pleasure. Here are some handy hints for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
