Flights to Camden, Maine from

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a blast in Camden before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, put in your passport, travel docs, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Camden, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
