Flights to Babson Park, Florida from

If you're not prepared, traveling can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a worry-free start to your time in Babson Park.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up in breathable clothing and pack a cardigan in case it gets cool. Pick flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your luggage.
• The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a quality pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce your risk.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Babson Park a piece of cake. We've rounded up some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
