Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to White Springs could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some handy tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to White Springs in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. 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-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
