Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Indian River could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to take a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Indian River a breeze. We've compiled some handy hints for a speedy journey past security:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
