Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Ait Ourir vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack in your passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some great options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are your best bet.
• Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to reduce your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and move your legs and feet. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Ait Ourir before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• 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 luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
