No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organized. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will get your Haines vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.

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 flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

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

• Have your boarding pass and ID handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Traveling with a new hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you on board.
• It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
