We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and having a ball in Saint Francis in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you've got all the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a smart option.
• A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks also helps reduce your risk.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Saint Francis in a flash. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Have your travel documents and passport handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. 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 phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
