If you're not prepared, traveling can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a worry-free start to your time in Scotch Plains.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be the goal when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a good idea.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander through the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you reach security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Scotch Plains in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne or perfume? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
