Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Springdale could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a pleasure if you carry the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Next, find room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, 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 always be your highest priority when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy work well.
• The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks also helps reduce the risk.

The answer is --- be prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Springdale, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
