Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these handy tips that will get your Islamorada vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule 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 swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common occurrence. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a smart option.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk up and down the aisles as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's easy --- be prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Islamorada, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• 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 before you know it.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other bulky 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 in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
