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

• The trick to having a great travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a few magazines. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to pack a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Pick flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your main luggage.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help lower your risk.

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

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
