We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through the airport and seeing the best of Williamston in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and go for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you get to security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Williamston in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Keep your boarding pass and passport within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
