Flights to Fairport, New York from

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of top travel tips that will get your Fairport vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a good book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pick shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

It's simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Fairport, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you on board.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
