No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. We've made a list of handy tips that will help get your Farmingdale escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, cash and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a good idea.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Farmingdale a pleasure. Here are some handy tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
