Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. Take a peek at these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Allemond escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your priority when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a sensible way to go.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are numerous ways to lessen your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and move your legs and feet. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Allemond a pleasure. Check out our handy hints for a swift journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. 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.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
