We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and having a ball in South Branch before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you take the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Don layers of breathable clothing and remember to bring a sweater just in case you get chilly. Pick a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your luggage.
• A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce the risk.

The trick is to be well prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to South Branch in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product 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.
• It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
