No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organized. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Sunny Isles Beach vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and opt for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to remove.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some top tips for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Sunny Isles Beach, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass close by. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
