Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. Check out these handy tips that will help get your South Orange vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze 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. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and go for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

The answer is — be prepared. We've put together some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out South Orange, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, 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.
• It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
