Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Pawcatuck 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 the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and opt for easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting 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 improve your circulation.

The trick is to be well organised before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Pawcatuck in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Have your ID and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
