Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. Check out these top travel tips that will get your Boca Raton escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet are a common occurrence. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a good idea.
• The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a good pair of compression socks also helps reduce your risk.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Boca Raton a breeze. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product 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.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
