• Flying can be easy if you pack the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and wear slightly roomy, flat footwear like slip-ons.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.

Being prepared before your flight will help make your getaway to Syracuse a pleasure. Read through our useful tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Have your passport and boarding pass within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Travelling with your favourite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you on board.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
