No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will get your Middlebury Center vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you pack the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and choose shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

The trick is to be well organized before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Middlebury Center in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Keep your boarding pass and ID close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand and nail cream? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
