• The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural fibers and don't forget to pack a jacket in case you get cold. Opt for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
• Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to minimize your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

The secret is to be well prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Garica in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
