Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to South River could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some handy tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by wearing layers, and pick closed-toe, flat footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being prepared before your flight can make your getaway to South River a piece of cake. We've rounded up some top tips for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Your belt, coat, 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 before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
