No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. Follow these top travel tips that will help get your Gravenhurst vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Next, leave space in your bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
• The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a pair of compression socks also helps reduce your risk.

It's all about being organized. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Gravenhurst, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
