Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. We've made a list of top travel tips that will help get your French River escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Next, find a spot in your bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets cool. Opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce your risk.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a speedy trip through security. Watch out French River, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and ID someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
