Flights to Cornell, Wisconsin from

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and exploring Cornell in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and wear easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your trip to Cornell easy and painless. Here are some handy tips for a swift journey through security:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
