No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of handy hints that will help get your Clarence-Rockland vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and wander the aisles wherever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Clarence-Rockland in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
