• The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let’s start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It’s also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don’t have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel 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:

• The goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural fibers and remember to pack a jacket in case it gets cool in the cabin. Opt for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
• Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There’s plenty you can do to lessen your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, drink lots of water and get your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform exercises in your seat.

Being organized before your flight can make your getaway to Vassar a breeze. Below you’ll find some top tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don’t hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don’t worry though, you’ll be back online soon enough.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume or cologne? Not a 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 can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won’t be allowed in the cabin.
