If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips for a pleasant start to your getaway in Endicott.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you take the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your number one priority when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a sensible way to go.
• A condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks may also help.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Endicott before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Traveling with a new cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
