Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Eastford could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. Here are some useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and opt for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to take on and off.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Eastford quick and painless. Read through our useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. 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 single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
