No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. Take a peek at these handy tips that will help get your Cabramurra vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and take a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
• A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce your risk.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Cabramurra in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
