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

• A plane ride can be a pleasure if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and go for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to take on and off.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Bradbury a piece of cake. Read through our top tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
