Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will help get your Garni vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be the goal when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are your best bet.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander through the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Look out Garni, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
