Flights to Bath, Pennsylvania from

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a worry-free start to your vacation in Bath. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you carry the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable 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:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and pick flat, easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Bath easy and painless. Below you'll find some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, 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.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
