No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Brooktondale vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Next, leave space in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and choose shoes that are flat and easy to remove.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Brooktondale, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
