We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through the airport and having a ball in East Rutherford in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Next, leave space in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to East Rutherford quick and painless. Here are some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• 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 on board.
