Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of top travel tips that will get your Bowen Town Center vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• It's likely you've 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 socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Bowen Town Center a piece of cake. Here are some useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Have your ID and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in 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 on board and will be confiscated.
