Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Hackensack could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

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 nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Hackensack, here you come:

• Keep your travel documents and ID within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
