Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will help get your Wheaton vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a good book. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when picking what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet can be a side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being organized before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Wheaton a breeze. Here are some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Have your travel documents and passport within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume 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), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
