Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will help get your Hardaway vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and don't forget to bring a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good choice.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to lessen your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and get your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

The trick is to be well organized before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Hardaway in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
