Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. Take a peek at these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Cuyamungue escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural fibers and remember to bring a sweater in case you get cold. Always go with flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your main luggage.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and wander the aisles as much as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being organized before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Cuyamungue a piece of cake. Below are some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
