We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and enjoying Jackson in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Jackson in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Traveling with a new perfume? 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.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
