Flights to Brocton, New York from

If you're not prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips for a hassle-free start to your vacation in Brocton. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, find room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

It's easy — be prepared. We've put together some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Brocton, here you come:

• Have your ID and travel documents handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
