No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Grimsing vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your priority when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common occurrence. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are your best bet.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

The secret is to be prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Grimsing in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
