Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Gales Point vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and take a sweater just in case you get cold. Opt for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Gales Point quick and painless. Read through our handy tips for a swift journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
