We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and discovering Pomona before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

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 things like knives, scissors, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to take a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

The secret is to be prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Pomona before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Keep your travel documents and ID within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
