No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organized. Check out these handy tips that will get your Foyil escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you pack the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your prime concern when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a sensible way to go.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to lower your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and move your legs and feet. Wander around the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Foyil in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Traveling with a new cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• 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.
