No matter where you’re coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you’re prepared. Check out these top travel tips that will help get your Charlestown vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you pack the right things. First of all you’ll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, can’t come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight can be as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
• You’ve probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are many ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, drink plenty of water and move your legs and feet. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

The answer is — be prepared. We’ve put together some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Charlestown, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your ID and travel documents at hand. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked to show at airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few minutes, you’ll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Don’t forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items can’t be taken on board. They’ll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
