Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Manitowoc could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a stress-free flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to pack a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin. Opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
• It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are plenty of ways to reduce your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

Being organized before your flight will help make your trip to Manitowoc a breeze. Check out our handy tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Have your travel documents and ID handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner 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-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
