No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. Follow these handy travel tips that will get your Bolonchen vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

It's all about being prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Bolonchen, here you come:

• Be sure to have your passport and travel documents close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
