Flights to Spofford, New Hampshire from

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Spofford could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some useful tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a smart option.
• Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's lots you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink plenty of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

The trick is to be well prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Spofford before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
