Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Livingston could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are your best bet.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Livingston a breeze. Check out our useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne or perfume? 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 keep it with you in your carry-on.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
