Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will get your Cheroy escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to take a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good idea.
• A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks or tights may also help.

The secret is to be organized before you get to security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Cheroy before you know it. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Keep your passport and travel documents handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product 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-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
