Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will get your Cresskill escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be the goal when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common occurrence. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a smart option.
• A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce the risk.

Being prepared before your flight can make your trip to Cresskill a breeze. Read through our handy tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and passport within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, 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 phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take 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-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
