Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Snohomish could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some useful travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by wearing layers, and opt for flat, easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
• Most travelers have 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 socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Snohomish in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
