Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Delafield could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful hints that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Next, make room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Delafield in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
