• The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to pack a pullover in case it gets cool. Pick a pair of roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to lower your risk. Wear compression socks, drink lots of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Gogayama in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Have your boarding pass and ID someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock 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 sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
