• Traveling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you’ll need basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, don’t forget to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don’t have a sharp object lurking in your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
• The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks is also a wise idea.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you’ll be boarding that plane to Chatham in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don’t have to dig around for them.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you’ll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine 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.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They’ll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
