Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. Check out these handy travel tips that will help get your Forus vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you've got all the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and choose shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to pull on and off.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your trip to Forus a breeze. Below you'll find some top tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside 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 bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
