Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these handy hints that will get your Brodheadsville vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel docs, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your highest priority when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are quite common. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are your best bet.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as often as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

The trick is to be well organized before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Brodheadsville in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you on board.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
