Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Richfield could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've put together some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be the goal when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are your best bet.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander through the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Richfield a pleasure. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
