We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a ball in Clinton before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, put in your passport, official ID, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice in clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
• A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks may also help.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Clinton in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Keep them close by.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
