No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organized. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will get your Dougherty vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you take the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to take a cardigan as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

It's easy — be prepared. We've put together some useful tips for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Dougherty, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
