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 useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and don't forget to bring a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good choice too.
• Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to lower your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, stay hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

Being organized before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Livingston a breeze. Read through our handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
