Flights to Alburg, Vermont from

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will get your Alburg vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, put in your passport, important documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and go for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to remove.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The trick is to be well prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Alburg in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
