Flights to Milford, Delaware from

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will get your Milford vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife hiding in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to take a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Milford quick and painless. Read through our handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
