Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. Follow these handy travel tips that will get your Frethun escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your trip to Frethun a breeze. Here are some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Have your ID and travel documents easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
