Wherever you’re coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you’re well prepared. We’ve put together a list of handy tips that will get your Estella escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that’ll help pass the time, like your laptop or a good book. You’ll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don’t forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don’t have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, 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:

• Comfort really should be your main priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a good idea.
• A condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It’s the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights can also help.

The trick is to be well organized before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you’ll be boarding that plane to Estella in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don’t have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you’re less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can’t be taken on board. They’ll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
