Flights to New Milford, Connecticut from

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to New Milford could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've put together some handy tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to take a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

It's easy — be prepared. We've compiled some top tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out New Milford, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. 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 electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger 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 a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
