Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Amboy escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to bring a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-haul flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help lower your risk.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Amboy in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Keep them close by.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
