Flights to State Farm, Virginia from

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to State Farm could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've put together some tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Next, find room in your bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your trip to State Farm a breeze. Below you'll find some useful tips for a swift journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, 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), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
